Model Latina is an American reality competition show in which aspiring models compete against one another in fashion and cultural challenges. They are judged by a panel of fashion experts and celebrities from the American Latino entertainment industry. Model Latina is the first modeling competition of its kind to feature Latinas from all over the United States. The show airs on the cable network NuvoTV.
As of July 2012, five people have won the competition. Winners typically receive a one-year contract with leading modeling agency Q Management, a cash prize and an opportunity to be a NuvoTV host.[1]
Each season of Model Latina has 10–13 episodes and begins with 10–20 contestants. Contestants are judged weekly on their overall appearance, participation in challenges, runway work and best shot from that week's photo shoot. In each episode, one contestant is eliminated from the competition, and in rare cases, a double elimination occurs.
The series employs a panel of judges who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. Throughout its broadcast, the program has employed three different hosts and eleven different judges. Ellie Rodriguez was the show's host for seasons 1–3, and was replaced by Jazmín López for season 4 and by Jocelyn Pierce for season 5. The original judging panel consisted of Franco Lacosta, Jeffrey Kolsrud and Katrina Campins. For season 2, the original panel returned as guest judges with Jorge Ramon, Jai Rodriguez and Jennifer Gimenez as the main judges. Lacosta and Annette Rosario replaced Rodriguez and Gimenez for season 3 and Kolsrud served as the only guest judge. Tomiko Fraser Hines and Alex Cambert replaced Rosario and Ramon for season 4. For season 5, Carlos Ponce and Inés Rivero replaced Hines and Cambert.

It originally aired on NuvoTV from 28 May to 23 July 2012, and was hosted by Jocelyn Pierce (replacing Jazmín López). The judging panel consisted of Franco Lacosta and new judges Carlos Ponce and Inés Rivero. The season was filmed in Miami Beach, Florida.[26] This was the first season of Model Latina to include only 10 contestants and air fewer than 13 episodes. The season's 10 episodes were broadcast over a nine-week span. Each episode was shortened from the previous 60 minutes to 30.
The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Muriel Villera from Hialeah, Florida, with Marlene Cruz and Oneisys Amador placing as runners-up. Villera's prizes were a modeling contract with Q Management, an opportunity to be a Sí TV host and a cash prize of US$25,000.
