History

1966 to 1969

The first contest bestowing the title of Miss Teen International took place on Wednesday, April 4, 1966, in Hollywood and was hosted by Adam West, star of TV's Batman, with guest appearances by actresses Mia Farrow and Barbara Parkins, actors Vic Morrow and John Astin, singers Robert Goulet and Sonny & Cher, and 1965 Miss Teen USA Susan Henning.[10][11]

The 1967 Miss Teen International pageant was held again in Hollywood on Saturday, March 20, and was hosted by actress Sally Field and actor-singer Noel Harrison, with 1966 Miss Teen USA Cindy Lewis making an appearance, along with the current 1966 and first Miss Teen International, Ewa Aulin, 17, who crowned her successor.[12]

At the 1968 pageant in Hollywood on Saturday, April 13, there were 12 girls from different countries participating in the event, with Miss Teen USA Pamela Martin, 18, representing the United States.[13]

The pageant was produced by Al Burton and the final competition aired as a single one-hour special nationally in prime time in the United States for each of four consecutive years on the ABC Television network in the United States and syndicated airing in foreign TV markets.[14][15][16]

1993 to 2014

A version of the pageant unrelated to the original 1966 Hollywood pageant based in Costa Rica began in 1993 by Enrique Gonzalez, who also operated the Mr Costa Rica and Miss Teen Costa Rica pageants. It was held through 2014 with the winner that year being Ailin Adorno, 17, of Paraguay.[17]

Currently Rodrigo Moreira is the owner of all intellectual property rights in the Registry of Intellectual Property Ministry of Justice and Peace of Costa Rica.[3]

2014 to 2018

Another version was first held in 2014 and was previously called Miss Teenager International. The title was won by Fabiola Ortiz from Bolivia, the first winner.

She not only won the maximum title, but she also obtained the prizes for Best Figure and Best Smile. Fabiola was sent to the contest by Promociones Gloria.[18]

2019 to present

A version of the Miss Teen International pageant based in Ecuador is held annually. It began planning operation in 2018 by Rodrigo Moreira, who filed a trademark application that year in Ecuador for "Miss Teen International" (in English) and was approved in 2019.[6] The first winner of the Miss Teen International title in Ecuador in 2019 was Luciana Begazo of Peru.[19][20][21]

Rodrigo Moreira also owns the trademark at the National Institute of Industrial Property of Chile,[2] the National Office of Industrial Property Ministry of Industry, Trade and MSMEs (ONAPI) of the Dominican Republic,[4] the National Center of Records of the Republic of El Salvador[5] and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property of the Federal government of the United Mexican States.[7]
