The 13th edition of the Miss Grand International pageant will culminate in a final competition show at the MGI Hall in Bangkok, Thailand, on Oct. 18 at 7 P.M. (8 P.M. in Manila).
The ceremonies will be streamed online, in real-time, on the pageant’s official YouTube channel, GrandTV, available worldwide.
Seventy-seven delegates representing different countries and territories around the world, including the Philippines’ Emma Tiglao, are competing in this year’s pageant. This is the global tilt’s biggest haul so far.
Reigning Filipino queen Christine Juliane ‘CJ’ Opiaza will crown her successor, who will be proclaimed at the conclusion of the ceremony, and will receive the ‘Unity Torch’ crown unveiled this year, the fifth design used in the international pageant.
Pageant fans around the world are looking forward to another glitzy production with a high-energy opening number. Opiaza, known for her show-stopping dance moves, will get to showcase her talent on stage once again.
And as evidenced by the recently-concluded preliminary competition show, the stage for this year’s grand finale will still have the Miss Grand International pageant’s signature massive LED panels that extend to different directions.
The first cut will see 20 delegates moving on to the semifinal round, which also include the delegate from the country that will top the online poll for ‘Country’s Power of the Year,’ where the Philippines is currently leading as of the latest tally.
From 20 semifinalists, the field will be further trimmed in half, and only 10 ladies will proceed to the next round, which also include the delegate who will top the ‘Miss Popular’ paid poll online. Tiglao is ranked 10th in the latest tally.
The final round will see the five leading ladies competing for the crown via a question round. The five other ladies who will not advance will all be proclaimed fifth runners-up.
At the end of the ceremonies, the pageant will select the first, second, third, and fourth runners-up from the final five ladies, and the winning delegate will be hailed as Miss Grand International 2025.
