In addition to Head Judge Osmel Sousa, and beauty queen turned actress and TV Host Jaqueline Bracamontes there is a new judge this season. Colombian Actor and India Catalina Awards nominee Best Actor Daniel Arenas will be joining the panel of judges. The backstage segment called "Rincon Social" will be hosted by Nuestra Belleza Latina 2015 winner, Francisca Lachapel, who will interview the guest, contestants and present what social media is saying about the show.

For the final twelve, more than one contestant from the same season can be chosen to compete and a season may also have no representative.
