As some of you know, the 67th edition of the Miss Venezuela pageant was held virtually, without the live audience, the musical productions and the traditional elements of a live pageant, due to the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The competitors were under strict confinement at home under quarantine requirements the Venezuelan government had imposed early last year. The six-month training process to prepare the competitors was done entirely online, and organizers relied on distance learning through social media to master walking the runway, putting on makeup and performing.
Organizers then recorded each participant individually, without protective facemasks, walking the runway and making other appearances on stage. The videos were edited to give viewers a sense that they all appeared together in a group. The pre-recorded show was aired on September 24, 2020, and the crowning of the 2020 Miss Venezuela queens took place the next day in another recorded program.
