EN Miss TAM – Generación Universal Terms

These Terms & Conditions govern participation in Miss TAM – Generación Universal (the “Pageant”). By registering, the candidate —or, if she is a minor, her parent or legal guardian— confirms that she has read and accepted them. If there is any difference between language versions, the Spanish version prevails.

1. Organizer

The Pageant is organized by Perumira, owned by Jaime William Mostacero Baca (Jaime Mybs), RUC W8N983456 (the “Organizer”). Official contact: misstam@perumira.org.

Miss TAM – Generación Universal is the new name of the pageant the Organizer previously ran as Miss Global Talent. It is not affiliated with any third-party pageant that uses similar words.

2. Categories and eligibility

• Teen: ages 13 to 17. Registration completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian, with a valid email address and phone number.
• Miss: ages 18 to 29. Single, married or mothers.
• Elegance: age 30 and over. Single, married or mothers.
• Age is calculated on the video deadline. Each person may enter only one category per edition.
• The candidate must provide a valid identity document when the Organizer requests it. Document details are used only to verify age and identity and are never published.

3. Registration, payments and refunds

• Entry fees: Teen €85, Miss €95, Elegance €99. There are no other mandatory costs.
• Payment is made only through the official link on the registration page. The Organizer never asks for payment by private message or by any other means.
• If a registration is not approved because it does not meet the requirements, the fee is refunded minus the payment gateway charge.
• A candidate may withdraw and receive a full refund within 14 calendar days of payment, as long as she has not yet submitted any video.
• Once the registration is approved and the first video has been submitted, the fee is non-refundable, except as set out below.
• If a category has fewer than 3 candidates, the Organizer will let each candidate choose between moving to the next edition or receiving a full refund.
• If the Organizer cancels the edition, it will refund every candidate in full.

4. Videos

• The six stages, their length and their points are those published on the official Pageant page.
• Videos must be recorded for this edition, without filters that alter the face or body, and must not have been used in other pageants.
• Singing must be live (no lip-sync). The candidate is responsible for ensuring that any music is licensed or royalty-free.
• If a video infringes third-party copyright, the Organizer will notify the candidate and give her 72 hours to replace it. If she does not, the Organizer may mute the audio for publication; this does not affect her score.
• Language: the candidate may record in her native language or in English. If she uses another language, she adds English subtitles or a short written summary in English. Language neither adds nor removes points.

5. Jury and judging

• Each category is judged by a panel of 5 judges, whose names are published before judging begins.
• In each stage the highest and lowest scores are dropped and the remaining three are averaged. Total: 100 points. Tie-break: Talent, then Questions, then Presentation.
• A judge with a family, personal, professional or coaching relationship with a candidate abstains from scoring her; that candidate’s remaining scores are then averaged using the same method.
• Buying services from the Organizer or its partner companies (interviews, the Global Passport, photo or video sessions, courses or others) gives no advantage in judging.
• Every candidate receives her score sheet. Candidates may send questions about their score sheet within 7 days after the finale; the Organizer will reply in writing. The jury’s scoring decisions are final.

6. Fan Favorite

• The Fan Favorite is chosen only in the Miss and Elegance categories. The Teen category has no public vote.
• Voting takes place on Instagram. The Organizer publishes an official photo of each candidate on the @perumira account and on the official Miss TAM Instagram account, on the date shown in the calendar.
• Each like on the official photo counts as one vote. The result is the total number of likes on each candidate’s photo across both accounts when voting closes (Lima time). The Organizer takes a screenshot of the count at closing time.
• Voting is free. Buying likes or using fake accounts, bots or any automated means is forbidden. If the Organizer detects artificial votes, the candidate is excluded from this award and, in serious cases, may be disqualified from the Pageant.
• If Instagram removes or restricts a post for reasons beyond the Organizer’s control, the last recorded count will be used, or the photos of all candidates will be republished on equal terms.
• The Fan Favorite award does not change the jury’s score.

7. Prizes

• World Winner of each category: crown, sash, a printed copy of Perumira Magazine and the Perumira Global Passport (Pro).
• Country Winner (highest score from each country with at least 2 candidates in the category): crown, sash, a printed copy of Perumira Magazine and the Perumira Global Passport (Smart).
• Fan Favorite (Miss and Elegance): sash, digital certificate and a special feature on Perumira’s social media.
• 1st and 2nd runners-up of each category: digital certificate and a feature on Perumira’s social media.
• All candidates: digital participation certificate and score sheet.
• Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash. The Organizer pays for shipping; any import duties or taxes in the destination country are paid by the winner.
• The winner must send her shipping address within 14 days of the request. If she does not, the Organizer will send a reminder and, after another 14 days without a reply, may treat the physical prize as forfeited.

8. Reign, commitments and withdrawal of the title

• The reign lasts 12 months from the finale.
• Winners commit to respectful behaviour in public and on social media, and not to enter other pageants during their reign without the Organizer’s written permission.
• Title withdrawal procedure: if the Organizer considers that a winner has broken her commitments, it will send her written notice explaining the facts. The winner (or her guardian, for Teen) has 7 calendar days to respond. The Organizer will then communicate its reasoned decision in writing. The winner may request a review within the following 7 days; the review is decided by a different person from the one who made the first decision.
• Resignation penalty (Miss and Elegance only): if a winner resigns her title without a justified reason before the end of her reign, she will pay a penalty equal to twice her entry fee (€190 for Miss and €198 for Elegance), as compensation for the prizes received and the cost of appointing and producing a successor. It does not apply for health reasons, pregnancy, bereavement, force majeure or any breach by the Organizer.
• Teen: there is no financial penalty. If a Teen winner resigns or her title is withdrawn, she only returns the crown and sash.

9. Disqualification

Grounds for disqualification are: giving false information about age or identity, impersonating another person, submitting copied videos, videos edited with appearance-altering filters or videos used in other pageants, manipulating the Fan Favorite vote, or seriously breaching these terms. Before disqualifying a candidate, the Organizer will notify her in writing and give her 72 hours to respond. There is no refund in case of disqualification.

10. Protection of underage candidates (Teen)

• Registration is completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these terms on the minor’s behalf.
• All official contact is sent to the guardian’s email. No member of the Organizer’s team or the jury contacts an underage candidate by private message.
• A Teen candidate’s videos are published on Perumira’s official channels only if the guardian expressly ticks the publication consent box on the registration form. Without that consent, the videos are seen only by the jury.
• Minors’ full surnames, school, address, phone number and personal social media are never published.
• Comments on posts featuring Teen candidates are moderated or turned off.
• The guardian may ask at any time for their daughter’s videos to be removed from the Organizer’s channels; they will be removed within 7 days at most.
• The Teen category has no public vote and no financial penalties.

11. Use of image and videos

• The candidate keeps ownership of her videos.
• Miss and Elegance: the candidate grants the Organizer a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to publish her videos and images on the websites and social media of Perumira and Miss TAM to promote the Pageant, for 2 years from the finale. After that period the Organizer will make no new posts; posts with official results may remain in the Pageant’s historical archive.
• Teen: the licence is limited to the official channels of Perumira and Miss TAM, only with the guardian’s express consent, for 2 years from the finale, and may be revoked at any time under section 10.
• Culture Map: the stage 5 video is included in Perumira’s Culture Map only if the candidate (or her guardian) expressly authorizes it on the form.
• The Organizer does not sell candidates’ videos or images to third parties, nor use them to advertise other brands without a separate agreement.

12. Personal data protection

• Data controller: Perumira, owned by Jaime William Mostacero Baca, RUC W8N983456. Contact: misstam@perumira.org.
• Why we use your data: to manage registration and payments, verify age and identity, organize judging, publish results, ship prizes and contact candidates or their guardians.
• Legal basis: performance of the candidate’s participation in the Pageant and, for the publication of videos and the Culture Map, the express consent of the candidate or her guardian.
• Applicable rules: Peru’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 29733 and, for candidates resident in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
• Retention: registration data is kept for up to 2 years after the finale, and payment data for as long as tax law requires. Identity documents are deleted within 30 days of verification.
• Transfers: data may be stored on servers outside the candidate’s country (website, email and payment providers), using providers that offer adequate safeguards.
• Your rights: the candidate or her guardian may request access, correction, deletion or objection by writing to the contact email. We reply within 30 days at most. Candidates resident in the EU may also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of their country.

13. Changes to the Pageant

The Organizer may adjust dates, replace a judge or adapt the format for justified reasons (for example force majeure, technical problems or a judge’s unavailability), without changing the stage points or the payment conditions. Any change will be announced by email and on the official page at least 7 days in advance, except in urgent cases. If a change significantly affects her participation, the candidate may request a full refund.

14. Governing law and complaints

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Peru. In case of any disagreement, the parties will first seek an amicable solution by writing to the official email. If no agreement is reached, the courts of Peru will have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any rights the law of the candidate’s country of residence grants her as a consumer. Candidates in Peru may also use Perumira’s Complaints Book (Libro de Reclamaciones).
