Table of Miss Grand International runner-up and finalists

Since 2013, Miss Grand International has started announcing awards for all four runner-up positions and the Miss Grand International titleholder.[1] Originally, the pageant presented trophies solely to the contestants who ranked 1st runner-up through 4th runner-up, in addition to the winner.[2] However, as of 2019, the organization began bestowing crowns upon all four of these positions.[3] Additionally, in 2022, they introduced the new title of 5th runner-up for a top 10 finalists.[4]

This table shows the finalists of each competition, from its inception in 2013.[5][1]

Countries/Territories by number of finalists

1st runner-up

The first runner-up of each edition of Miss Grand International is the second placer behind the candidate who is crowned as Miss Grand International (first placer). In some cases, she shall take over the title of Miss Grand International, if:

  • The outgoing titleholder cannot fulfill her duties. This could happen and may result to resignation, giving up the title, or dethronement
  • The titleholder is dethroned due to deeds that violate the organization's policies. This has only happened in 2015.

The second-place finisher being designated as 1st runner-up has been awarded twelve times (2013–2024).

This table lists the number of 1st runner-up titles by country. There are some special considerations:

  • As Ethiopia was dethroned from the 1st runner-up position in 2014,[7] it is unknown if the position was taken by another candidate.
  • After Australia took over the Miss Grand International title in 2015,[9] but subsequently relinquished the title in 2019,[10] it remains uncertain whether another candidate secured the 1st runner-up position after the succession took place.

The current 1st runner-up is Christine Juliane Opiaza from the Philippines, elected on 25 October 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand.
