Nuestra Belleza Latina 2011 is the fifth season of Nuestra Belleza Latina and the fifth season to be aired on Univision. The season premiere was on March 6, 2011 at 8pm/7c and the show's finale was Sunday May 22, 2011.
The auditions will be shown Sunday, prior to the final 12 are revealed. Auditions were held in January through February 2011 in five major US cities (Chicago, Illinois; San Antonio, Texas; New York City, New York; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida) and in San Juan, Puerto Rico. During the audition process, 73 young women were given passes to the semi-finals in Miami. Two contestants were chosen from online Auditions, with the help of public votes.
The winner of the contest was awarded a contract to be one of the new personality faces on many of Univision's programs and award shows and a chance to win more than $250,000 in cash and prizes; be a correspondent for El Gordo y la Flaca and reign as Nuestra Belleza Latina for a year. As an added bonus, only four contestants were eligible for the prizes in the finale.
Contestant Nastassja Bolívar, representing Nicaragua, won the competition.
For the first time, the audience picked the final two contestants to compete in Nuestra Belleza Latina 2011 in an online casting. This will define two seats left vacant to go to Miami. The voting ended February 19 at midnight. Each contestant that wins a challenge will win $10,000 dollars. All four winners, from previous seasons, will do the opening scene and also be mentors for the girls throughout the season. Winner Ana Patricia González will be the co-hostess throughout the competition. A new house will be chosen this year, for the first time the judges may pick one week prior to finale to save both girls from elimination. For the second time, an expulsion occurred. The first time was in 2009, when Puerto Rican Stephanie Figueroa was expelled for disobeying contest rules. This time, Cuban Juliete Cabrera was caught in a sexually explicit photo-shoot scandal. Although the photos were taken prior to the show, the contestant was disqualified and replaced by Semi-Finalist Jenny Arzola who also represented Cuba. For the first time, only four finalists were in the finale. This was achieved by having a double elimination in week seven and adding an entire week of competition. The logo was also altered, having the actual crown used by Ana Patricia Gonzalez replace previous drawing.
