Miss Lindeza 2017
Miss Lindeza 2017 is an Australian national beauty pageant run by E & E Events Management and Estela Tapia is National Director of the contest. It was first held with the name Miss Latina Australia[1] and is now a hybrid of the original contest with new categories such as Miss Teen, Junior and Multi-cultural for contestants of background other than spano/Latino heritage. The South American pageant Reina Hispanoamericana in Bolivia has been chosen for the winner of Miss Lindeza to go represent Australia in 2017.[2]
