The pageant was broadcast live on Venevision from the Poliedro de Caracas in Caracas, for the first time since 1975. At the conclusion of the final night of competition, outgoing titleholder Yajaira Vera, crowned Eva Lisa Ljung of Lara as the new Miss Venezuela. It was the first edition to use CGI effects for the opening credit sequence, a trend that was pioneered from the 1985 pageant onward.
The return to the Poliedro was marked with one of the biggest opening numbers yet in pageant history - a Broadway-themed opening with past pageant alumni (Elluz Peraza, Raquel Lares, Viviana Gibelli, 1986 runner-up Maite Delgado, 1988 winner Yajaira Vera and 1988 runner-up Emma Rabbe) and those who took part in every pageant of the 80s joining the 28 entrants.
