Background
Initially, Miss Colombia held the Colombian license for Miss Universe, and had selected María Fernanda Aristizábal as the Colombian representative for Miss Universe 2020 through Miss Colombia 2019.[3][4][5][6][7] However, in June 2020, the license was purchased by Natalie Ackermann, who announced that she would be forming her own organization to select a new Colombian representative for Miss Universe 2020, which meant that Aristizábal would not be competing.[8]
Selection of contestants
From September to October 2020, castings were held in Bogotá, Bucaramanga, Neiva, Cali, Medellín, and Barranquilla for prospective contestants to audition for a spot in the competition.[9][10] The official contestants who were selected to compete were released in batches throughout October 2020, following each casting.[11][12] In order to represent a department, contestants had to either be from the department or have a parent from the department.[13] Josseidy Escalona was originally to represent Providencia and Santa Catalina Islands, while Valeria Ayos was to represent San Andrés.[14] Escalona resigned from the competition amidst controversy regarding one department receiving two representatives; Ayos was to represent the full department of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, but later tested positive for COVID-19 and had to resign from the competition.[15][16] Luisa Fernanda Urango, the original representative for Córdoba Department, was disqualified after lying about her age; she was replaced by Carolina Guerra.[17] Due to controversy within Amazonas Department over a woman not from the department being their representative, Dayana Cárdenas, the former representative of Amazonas, was changed to represent the city of Valledupar instead.[18] Cárdenas later had her sash changed "Cabildo Encanto Amazonas", referring to the indigenous cabildo of El Encanto in Amazonas Department, which had expressed support for Cárdenas amidst the controversy.[19]
