Yenny Katherine Carrillo represented Cesar at the national contest with sincerity and dedication. She was a crowd favourite ever since the beginning of the competition. The 25 year-old has mesmerised everyone with her beauty who stands 177 cm tall. She is currently a student in her 10th semester of law at Manuela Beltrán University. Not new to the pageantry, she was also the 1st Runner up of the Miss Globe 2016.

The coronation night also saw in attendance Miss Earth 2018 Phuong Khanh and Miss Earth Fire 2018 Melissa Flores who were there to cheer the delegates and made the finale night even more memorable. The entire production was heavily applauded by the spectators as everyone was happy with the results.
Colombia, in its recent years, has shown incredible performances at the Miss Earth pageant. From 2016 to 2018, it has won an elemental crown every year (Miss Earth Air 2016, Miss Earth Water 2017 and Miss Earth Water 2018). The expectations from the newly crowned queen are sure a lot with her predecessors performing so well in the past.
Congratulations to the winners!
