Show your talent. Share your culture. Wear the crown.
Founder & Owner: Jaime William Mostacero Baca · A Perumira pageant
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 girls and women who love what they do, to inspire the youngest to embrace their talent and to invite families to support it. Talent has the heaviest score, and every culture has a place on our stage.
Formerly known as Miss Global Talent. Now relaunched with a new name, six video stages and a global jury.
What does TAM mean?
TAM stands for the three pillars that guide the jury’s evaluation and our international calls:
In 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.
