Trivia edit
- Matagalpa has to wait 40 years to recover the crown. Marina Jacoby became the third Queen from this region to win since the Miss Nicaragua pageant began in 1955. The first one was Margine Davidson, Miss Nicaragua 1968, and the other one was Ivania Navarro, Miss Nicaragua 1976.
- Viewers were able to interact with the pageant via Movistar. Fans were able to vote for their favorite contestant through the Miss Nicaragua website, from February 5 to March 5. Miss Chinandega, Maria José Salazar, won the most MSM votes among the contestants, winning her spot in the Top 6.
