It was first held with the name Miss Latina Australia 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.
Charity.
Miss Lindeza will be flown to Bolivia home to the “Hogar Maria Auxiliadora” Orphanage E &amp; E Events has been raising funds through its pageants since 2015 for this cause, this makes a logical fit for Lindeza having the Orphanage and Reina Hispanoamericana located in the same country.
