No Miss Universe Pageant For 2014

 

63rd Edition of Miss Universe will happen in January.  It is the first time since 1952 that the competition skips a year.

Luigi Boria, Mayor of the City of Doral, confirmed on Friday September 12th that the 64th Miss Universe Pageant will take place in Doral (Miami).  The announcement had the presence of Miss Universe Organization President Paula Shugart, and the reigning titleholder Gabriela Isler, Miss Universe 2013/2014 from Venezuela.

 

Boria confirmed via Twitter that the live telecast of Miss Universe 2014/2015 will take place on Sunday, January 18th.

Members of the City’s Council voted three against one to approve the hosting of the Miss Universe Pageant.

The City will pay USD 2.5 million dollars, expecting a return on their investment via sponsorships and publicity.

Most of the activities will take place at the Trump National Hotel in Doral.  Miami-Dade county and Miami Beach will also be involved in the organization of the event.

Isler said that she is extremely happy that the event will take place in Doral.  “It is the home to many Venezuelans and it makes me feel like home” she added.

An official statement is yet to be issued by the Miss Universe Organization.  Thanks to Diario Las Americas
