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.[7][8][9]
