Terms & Conditions
What is Miss TAM – Generación Universal?
Miss TAM – Generación Universal (“Universal Generation”) is a virtual beauty and talent pageant created by Perumira, the international magazine, marketing agency and academy that interviews talent from all over the world. You compete from home with six videos: no stage, no travel and no swimsuit round.
Our purpose is simple: to celebrate young women and women who love what they do, to inspire the youngest to embrace their talent and to invite families to support it. Talent carries the highest score, and every culture has a place on our stage.
Miss TAM – Generación Universal is the new name of Miss Global Talent, the pageant Perumira previously ran under that name. Same pageant, same organizer, now with six video stages and an international jury.
What does TAM mean?
TAM stands for the three pillars that guide the jury’s evaluation and the winners’ reign:
Across the six stages: the Talent video measures T; the National Costume, Cultural and Jury Q&A videos show A; the Presentation and Evening Gown videos, and the technical quality of every video, show M.

The 6 video stages
1. Hello, World! (Presentation video)
10 points
Length: 60–90 seconds
What to do and say
- Your name, your country and city, and your age.
- Why you want to join Miss TAM – Generación Universal.
- One fun fact about you and the talent you will show.
- A greeting in your native language and in English.
Tip: Hold up a card with your name and today’s date for 3 seconds at the start. Look at the camera and smile. Teens: do not mention your address, school or full surname; your first name and country are enough.
2. My Roots Runway (National costume video)
15 points
Length: 60–90 seconds
What to do and say
- Say your name and country.
- Walk toward the camera, turn and pose in your national or traditional costume (full body, camera at 2–3 metres).

Tip: Respect your culture: no stereotypes or costumes that mock any people.
3. Show Your Talent (Talent video)
25 points
Length: up to 3 minutes
What to do and say
- Say your name and your talent.
- Perform: singing, dancing, an instrument, poetry, acting, painting, sport, public speaking or anything you do with passion.

Tip: This is the highest-scoring stage: this pageant is about talent. One continuous take is recommended.
4. Elegant Night (Evening gown video)
15 points
Length: 60–90 seconds
What to do and say
- Say your name and country.
- Walk, turn and finish with a final pose in an evening gown or elegant formal outfit.

- Say your name and city.
- Visit or talk about a historic place, museum, monument or heritage site in your city or region.

6. Three Questions (Jury Q&A video)
20 points
Length: 3–4 minutes
What to do and say
- On “Question Day” we email the same three questions to every candidate in the category (for Teens, to the guardian’s email).
- Record one continuous take: say your name, then answer each question in up to 60 seconds.
- No notes, no reading, no cuts.
Tip: Speak calmly and use examples from your own life. There are no “right” answers: the jury values clarity, confidence and authenticity.
Language
You may record all your videos in your native language or in English; language neither adds nor removes points. If you speak a language other than English, add English subtitles or a short written summary in English so the whole international jury can follow you.
Judges and scoring
Each category is judged by a panel of 5 judges: pageant professionals, modeling and communication experts, culture and arts specialists, former titleholders and a Perumira editor. Their names will be published before judging begins. Each judge scores every stage; the highest and lowest scores are dropped and the remaining three are averaged. The total is 100 points.
A judge may not score a candidate with whom she has a family, personal or coaching relationship: in that case she abstains and the remaining scores are averaged. Buying services from Perumira or its partner companies (interviews, the Global Passport, photo or video sessions, courses) gives no advantage in scoring.
| Stage | Maximum points |
|---|---|
| 1. Hello, World! | 10 |
| 2. My Roots Runway | 15 |
| 3. Show Your Talent | 25 |
| 4. Elegant Night | 15 |
| 5. Discover My City | 15 |
| 6. Three Questions | 20 |
| Total | 100 |
Tie-break: higher Talent score, then Jury Q&A, then Presentation. Every candidate receives her own score sheet.
Fan Favorite
In the Miss and Elegance categories we also choose a Fan Favorite, on Instagram. Here is how it works:
- Where: on Monday 13 November 2028 we publish an official photo of each candidate on the @perumira Instagram account and on the official Miss TAM Instagram account.
- How to vote: like your candidate’s official photo. Her result is the total number of likes on her photo across both accounts.
- Voting closes: Sunday 26 November 2028 at 23:59 (Lima time). We take a screenshot of the count at that moment.
- Free voting: buying likes or using fake or automated accounts is forbidden. If we detect bought or artificial votes, the candidate is excluded from the Fan Favorite award.
- It does not change the jury’s score: it is a separate award.
- Prize: Fan Favorite sash, digital certificate and a special feature on Perumira’s social media.
To protect minors, the Teen category has no public vote.
Titles and 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. Perumira pays for shipping; any import duties or taxes in the destination country are paid by the winner.
Reign and commitments
- The reign lasts 12 months.
- Winners behave respectfully throughout their reign. If a winner breaks her commitments, the procedure in the Terms & Conditions applies: written notice, time to respond and a reasoned decision.
- Winners do not enter other pageants during their reign, unless Perumira gives written permission.
- Miss and Elegance: if a winner resigns without a justified reason before the end of her reign, a penalty equal to twice her entry fee applies (€190 for Miss and €198 for Elegance). It does not apply for health reasons, bereavement or force majeure. See the Terms & Conditions, section 8.
- Teen: there is no financial penalty. If a Teen winner resigns, she simply returns the crown and sash.
What makes it different
- Talent first: the talent video is the highest-scoring stage (25 of 100 points).
- No swimsuit round: more comfortable for teens and for every culture.
- Culture Map: with your express permission, your cultural video can join the map of heritage places around the world on Perumira’s website.
- Fan Favorite on Instagram: free voting with a like; nobody buys votes.
- Transparent scoring: published jury and a score sheet for every candidate.
