Miss International 2023 Explained
Miss International 2023 was the 61st Miss International pageant, held at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, on 26 October 2023.[1] Jasmin Selberg of Germany crowned Andrea Rubio of Venezuela as her successor at the end of the event, marking the ninth time that Venezuela won the competition - the most wins in the pageant's history.
Background
Location and date
On 30 March 2023, the Miss International Organization announced that the pageant will take place at the Yoyogi Gymnasium No. 2 in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, instead of the usual Tokyo Dome City Hall, on 26 October 2023.[2] [3] [4]
Selection of participants
According to Stephen Diaz, head director of the International Cultural Association, the non-profit organization that organizes the pageant, the organization has set the limit of the number of contestants competing to eighty. In the end, contestants from seventy countries and territories were selected to compete in the competition. Two contestants were selected to replace the original dethroned winner.
Replacements
Stacy Montero was appointed as the new representative of Costa Rica to the pageant after Shakira Graham, the original Miss International Costa Rica, relinquished her title due to problems with the organization.[5] El Salvador appointed Daniella Hidalgo to represent in the pageant after Wendy Portillo, Queen of El Salvador 2023, relinquished her title for personal reasons.[6]
Debuts, returns, and withdrawals
This edition marked the debuts of Bangladesh, Lesotho, and Pakistan, and the returns of Angola, Côte D'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Estonia, Ghana, Lithuania, Martinique, Moldova, Myanmar, the Netherlands, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.[7] Angola last competed in 2004, Martinique last competed in 2010, Estonia and Serbia last competed in 2014, Lithuania last competed in 2017, Moldova last competed in 2018, while the others last competed in 2019. Belarus, Cabo Verde, Germany, Haiti, Honduras, Italy, Kenya, Namibia, the Northern Mariana Islands, Romania, Slovakia, Togo, and Uzbekistan withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition or appoint a delegate.
