Selection of participants

Overview

As of February 2023, six contestants had confirmed their participation, two of whom were determined through the Miss Grand national pageant (A1), including the representatives of Honduras and Venezuela, and the other obtained the Miss Grand national title as a supplementary award at another national contest (B1).[9][10][11]

After the conflict with the MGI PLC and the delegitimization of the country's representative in the previous edition, Mauritius was expected to withdraw.[12][13] Meanwhile, Gibraltar was expected to make its debut and the United Kingdom will instead send representatives to compete on behalf of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

The information is summarized below.
