Background

Location and date

On 24 June 2024, The Miss Charm Organization announced that the competition would take place in Los Angeles, California, between 12 and 24 August 2024. ^[1] However, on 1 August the event was postponed as eleven contestants were ineligible for a US visa. ^{[2] [3]} On 14 October, the organization announced that the competition would return to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam between 9 and 21 December 2024. ^[4]
The preliminary and final competitions were held at Nguyen Du Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with the former on 18 December and the latter on 21 December 2024. ^{[5] [6]}

Some countries had announced representatives, including Hungary, ^[7] Iran, ^[8] Italy, ^[9] Kazakhstan, Paraguay, Senegal, ^[10] Somalia, ^[11] and Spain ^[12] but withdrew after their representatives resigned from the titles, and their respective organizations found no replacement.

Pageant

Format

The results of the in-depth interview along with the preliminary competition, which consisted of swimsuit and evening gown sections, determined the twenty semi-finalists to advance. The twenty semi-finalists competed in the swimsuit sections and were reduced to ten. These semi-finalists then competed in the evening gown section, from which the first five finalists were chosen and moved into the question-and-answer round. In addition, the online voting winner advanced as the sixth finalist. In case the online voting winner was already chosen by the judges, the direct entry would be given to the delegate with the second highest number of votes. ^[23] The six finalists competed in the interview questions, and were then reduced to three. The three finalists competed in one final question, after which the winner and her two runners-up were announced.
