She was crowned as 1st princess after obtaining some of the highest scores: 9.7 in the evening gown competition and 9.6 in the swimsuit competition.[6] In addition, Cutiva also won several special awards prior to the final competition for Miss Colombia: Miss National Police, Miss Bodytech Figure (Best Body)[7] and Miss Natural Beauty.

Traditionally 1st runners-up represent Colombia at Miss International, but the maximum age to compete is 24, at the time of the event.
