Miss Grand International 2015 was the third edition of the Miss Grand International pageant,[1] held on 25 October 2015[2][3] at the Indoor Stadium Huamark in Bangkok, Thailand.[3][4][5] Candidates from seventy-seven countries and territories competed for the title,[3][6] of whom a 20-year-old Dominican American from Rhode Island representing Dominican Republic, Anea Garcia, was announced as the winner and received a cash prize of 40,000 USD as a reward.[7][8] Meanwhile, the candidates from Miss Grand Australia, Miss Grand India, the Miss Grand Philippines, and Miss Grand Thailand were named the runners-up.[7][9][10] However, due to the inability to fulfill the agreement, the original winner from the Dominican Republic was later replaced by the first vice-miss, Claire Parker [ast] of Australia, in early 2016.[11][12]

The pageant's grand final round was broadcast via the Channel 7 and the pageant official website,[13] with a Thai television personality, Matthew Deane and Miss Grand International 2014 Daryanne Lees, as the event's MCs.[7]

Initially, ninety-one contestants confirmed their participation,[14] but only eighty-five candidates literally entered the tournament.[15][16] However, some of the entering candidates later withdrew during the pageant camp, such as the representatives of Kurdistan and Russia.[17][18]

Background

Date and venue

In the press conference of the national pageant Miss Grand Thailand 2015 [th] held at the Central World Ratchaprasong on 23 March 2015, in addition to releasing the national pageant details, the pageant president Nawat Itsaragrisil also stated that the third edition of Miss Grand International was scheduled for 25 October 2015, at the Indoor Stadium Huamark, Bangkok, Thailand.[19][20] The international pageant schedule was later revealed at the press release held after the arriving of the contestants on 7 October 2015, at Eden 1 Park, Central World Ratchaprasong.[21]

As in its previous two editions, the pageant consisted of four main events organized in three different cities from October 8–25,[1][22][21] including the swimsuit competition held on 11 October at the Kacha Resort, Ko Chang, Trat province;[15][23] the national costume contest held on 17 October at the King Rama II Memorial Park, Samut Songkhram Province;[24][13] and the preliminary and final rounds in Bangkok at the Indoor Stadium Huamark on 23 and 25 October.[15][16]

Selection of participants

Of all seventy-seven participating delegates, only ten were elected through the Miss Grand national pageants, including the representatives of Albania,[25] Cambodia,[26] England,[27] Japan,[28] Namibia,[29] Nigeria,[30] Scotland,[31] South Africa,[32] Thailand,[33] and Wales,[31] while another candidate who was also elected through the Miss Grand national contest, Dardanie Thaqi of Kosovo, did not enter the international pageant for undisclosed reasons.[34] Three countries send their main other national pageant winners to participate, including Shadi Osmani from Miss Iran,[35] Sarah Mercieca from Miss Malta,[36] and Aracely Azar from Rostro de México.[37]

The remaining candidates were either appointed without participating in national pageants or being runners-up in the other 2015 national pageants, such as Vartika Singh of India who was named Miss Grand India after finishing as the second runner-up in Femina Miss India 2015.[38]
