Background
In 1996, the Miss Venezuela Organization founded the Mister Venezuela competition, as an initial request of the Miss World Organization.
Since Venezuela debuted in Miss World 1955 with Susana Duijm, representatives to the British pageant were chosen within the Miss Venezuela pageant. However, In 1999, the Miss World Organization also requested that the winner of Miss Venezuela, Martina Thorogood, represented the country at Miss World. After her placement as 1st runner-up in Miss World 1999, the Miss Venezuela Organization founded Miss World Venezuela (Miss Venezuela Mundo) as an independent pageant to Miss Venezuela.
However, from time to time, representatives have been chosen within the Miss Venezuela pageant itself; the last time this occurred was in 2017 with Veruska Ljubisavljević.
