Background
Date and venue
Two months after Miss Grand International 2017 , the pageant organization announced that the next edition of the contest would be held in Yangoon , Myanmar on October 25, 2018.[ 4]
Selection of participants
Contestants from 75 countries and territories were selected to compete in the competition.[ 5] Thirty-one of these delegates were determined through the national pageant. Fourteen were appointed to their positions after being runner-ups in their national pageant or being selected through a casting process. Thirty delegates were appointed to the title without participating in any respective national pageants in this particular year.[ 10] [ 11] [ 12]
The original representatives of Albania,[ 13] Canada,[ 14] Colombia,[ 15] Kosovo,[ 16] and Spain,[ 17] who were elected through the national pageant, resigned from the titles, which caused the national directors to promote the runner-up to take over the title or appoint other delegates as replacements.[ 15] [ 17] [ 18] Meanwhile, the representatives of Bahamas, Namibia, and Singapore, who were also elected through the national pageants, did not enter the pageant, and no replacements were assigned.[ 19]
The representatives of Miss Grand Guatemala and Miss Grand Honduras were also appointed to participate but did not compete for undisclosed reasons, while the representative of Miss Grand Lithuania , Jurate Stasiunaite , withdrew during the international pageant for personal reasons.[ 20]
