Sofia Productions is proud to present the first Annual Miss Nevada Latina 2009 Pageant, the only official state preliminary pageant for the longest and most prestigious pageant the Miss Latina US. Unlike other Latina pageants, Miss Nevada Latina is admirable in that it promotes the highest standards and adheres to the strictest of requirements. Its mission is to not only portray Latina beauty in a positive way, but also to instill a sense of community and purpose by motivating young Latinas to attain their goals without interruption despite the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Sofia Productions will be holding its first of four Live Open Calls, to find the top 12 finalist; that will be competing for Miss Nevada Latina 2009.

Then the group of talent scouts from Sofia Productions and BB from Salsa Reno will be selecting a group of potential finalist delegates for a 2nd call.
