The outgoing titleholder, Prissila Howard of Piura crowned her successor, Romina Lozano of Callao at the end of the event.[2]
Lozano represented Peru at Miss Universe 2018.
The first and second runners-up were also selected to represent Peru at the international level, as Andrea Moberg and Kelin Rivera represented Peru at the Miss Grand International 2018 and Miss Eco International pageants, respectively.
The pageant was broadcast by Latina Television for the first time since 2004. The event was hosted by presenter Cristian Rivero with the outside commenting of Miss Peru 2009, Karen Schwarz.
This election became a platform opposing violence against women in Peru: when the 23 candidates took the floor to specify their measurements, each one announced a figure corresponding to the daily violence suffered by women living in Peru. The sequence ended with the following message from the presenter: "Tonight we are not only talking about these 23 women, tonight we are talking about all the women in our country who have rights and deserve respect".[3]
These statements can relate to the complaint of the Weinstein case[4] and were echoed by demonstrations against gender violence and feminicides in the country.[5]
