NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Siempre
Mujer, the largest Spanish-language lifestyle magazine for
Latinas in the U.S., today announced the winner and three finalists
of its third-annual "La Musa de Siempre Mujer" cover
contest. The program gives the magazine's readers an
opportunity to shine in the October/November
2016 issue, and highlights four fresh faces representing the
beauty, intelligence and drive of Latinas.
The winner of the 2016 Cover Contest is Yisney Terrero, a
30-year-old Dominican blogger, aspiring entrepreneur and mom-of-two
from Los Angeles, Calif. The
former model, who starred in the 2015 music video for Enrique Iglesias and Nicky Jam's song "El
Perdón," studied fashion design and hopes to launch sportswear and
swimwear collections. Currently, she is the creative force behind
two websites: a fashion blog Yisneyterrero.com and a healthy
lifestyle blog Mibellezainterna.com.
"Appearing on the cover of Siempre Mujer is a dream come
true," says Terrero. "I've always loved the magazine and I'm so
grateful for the opportunity to share my story with other readers
and show young Latinas that it's possible to chase your
professional goals while raising a family."
Univision Network serves as the media partner for the Cover
Contest, and Terrero joined Siempre Mujer Editor-in-Chief
Jessica Torres to unveil the cover
on Univision's Despierta América, the number one early
morning program among Hispanics with more viewers than ABC's
Good Morning America, CBS This Morning and NBC's
TODAY show, on Sept. 27. Click

The three Cover Contest finalists featured alongside Terrero in
the issue are Claudia Andrea Bermúdez, a 25-year-old
Los Angeles-based marketing
professional, aspiring journalist and yoga instructor who emigrated
from Peru when she was nine years
old; Emmelie De La Cruz, a 25-year-old Dominican-Puerto
Rican entrepreneur from Georgia
who is a personal branding expert, author ("Make Yourself
Marketable: The Ultimate Personal Branding Planner" and "The Sanity
+ Success Journal") and blogger at Emmeliedelacruz.com; and
Jennifer Rinehart, a
22-year-old of Mexican heritage who recently received a degree in
international relations and global studies from the University of Texas and hopes to join a nonprofit
organization focused on international outreach.
Readers had the chance to enter the contest between April and
June 2016 at SiempreMujer.com, and
the winner and finalists were chosen by a prestigious panel of
editors and judges from the fashion and beauty industries.
In addition to entering the contest, readers also voted for
their own musa. This year's People's Choice winner is
Marlyn Mercado, a Puerto
Rican professional model and mom-of-two based in Orlando, Fla. who won with more than 6,000
votes. Mercado is also featured inside the issue and on

"We've met so many incredible women over the past three years of
holding our Cover Contest," says Torres. "What's unique about this
year's winner and finalists is that they're all millennial
influencers, career- and entrepreneurial-minded and tech savvy. And
those qualities truly reflect our readers and the Modern
Latina."
The grand-prize winner received prizes valued at more
$10,000, which includes a course at
the University of Miami, Division of
Continuing & International Education—valued at $8,000; an appearance on Univision Network's
Despierta America; a trip to New
York for the cover photo shoot; and a two-person stay in

with a Bachelor of Arts degree in public relations and is currently
