The road to the crown starts with filling out the inscription and an audition call of all participants to appear personally at the channel 7 studios in La Sabana (across from the National Stadium). Nazareth Cascante, the current Miss Costa Rica will welcome all participants and be involved in the election of her successor.
The second heat of the contest will group 15 to 20 semi-finalists, then reduced to 10 finalists which will compete in the televised portion of the contest, ending with one of the contestants being crowned Miss Costa Rica 2013, who will then represent Costa Rica in the Miss Universe pagaent.
