The Miss Universe Puerto Rico organization has officially launched this year’s edition with the screening for the search of the new queen to represent the country at the Miss Universe 2022 pageant. The country has been consistently producing some of the finest beauty queens in pageantry and has been placing among the top ranks at major beauty pageants.

The audition for Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2022 was held on 30th April, as the weekend witnessed stunning and aspiring divas from all over the country showcase their skills and passion for the title this year. While the screening saw some of familiar, strong and potential faces, Miss Florida USA 2021 and Miss USA 2021 second runner-up Ashley Ann Carino was also spotted at the casting.
