Background

In 1996, the Miss Venezuela Organization founded the Mister Venezuela competition, as an initial request of the Miss World Organization.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=nt6X_RhXp5ZRy2Gg&v=NwdCLsYUfU8&feature=youtu.be |title=MISTER WORLD - Venezuela 🇻🇪 (1996-2024) |date=2024-12-11 |last=MVLANUEVAERA |access-date=2025-03-23 |via=YouTube}}{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=Vn8xBUn8X5tz-P0P&v=XmI2_gdqvPw&feature=youtu.be |title=primer mister venezuela 1996 |date=2015-07-25 |last=Pedro Mora |access-date=2025-03-23 |via=YouTube}}

Since Venezuela debuted in Miss World 1955 with Susana Duijm, representatives to the British pageant were chosen within the Miss Venezuela pageant. However, In 1999, the Miss World Organization also requested that the winner of Miss Venezuela, Martina Thorogood, represented the country at Miss World.{{Cite web |last=Brito |first=Daniel |date=2020-06-21 |title=Lo que dijo Osmel Sousa sobre una participación de Norkys Batista en Miss Universo |url=https://miamidiario.com/lo-que-dijo-osmel-sousa-sobre-una-participacion-de-norkys-batista-en-miss-universo/ |access-date=2025-03-23 |website=Miami Diario |language=es}}{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=1m7Uu-tjWx2-cPAo&v=pDsTX5r-jUU&feature=youtu.be |title=Martina Thorogood 5 Decadas de Diseño, Glamour y Belleza |date=2009-02-19 |last=josemax852 |access-date=2025-03-23 |via=YouTube}} After her placement as 1st runner-up in Miss World 1999, the Miss Venezuela Organization founded Miss World Venezuela (Miss Venezuela Mundo) as an independent pageant to Miss Venezuela.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=EzV-xs9X2S-JvlfH&v=0v3u5mAaZ6U&feature=youtu.be |title=Miss World 1999 - Martina Thorogood 1st Runner Up (Venezuela) |date=2024-02-03 |last=Joshua James Gabucan |access-date=2025-03-23 |via=YouTube}}{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=d6KY6UEXl9RtItTY&v=8-kCvbJvoBM&feature=youtu.be |title=MARTINA THOROGOOD, MV 1999 |date=2011-05-30 |last=MVLANUEVAERA |access-date=2025-03-23 |via=YouTube}}
