Background

Location and date

According to the interview given by the contest president, Nawat Itsaragrisil, in August 2022, the host country for Miss Grand International 2025 had already been decided but could not be revealed at the moment due to a contractual agreement. [4] [5] [6]

On 18 November 2024, the Miss Grand International organization announced on their social media accounts that Thailand would host the pageant for the second consecutive year. [7]

Selection of participants

As of August 2025, fifty-five delegates have been confirmed: thirty-three were main winners of the 2025 related-national pageants, five won the title as a supplemental award in a multiple-title national pageant, and seventeen were appointed.

On 5 June 2025, the Miss Grand International organization officially announced through its social media platforms the new age limit – 18 to 35 years old – for future MGI contestants, effective starting from this edition. [8]

Replacements

Tina Batson of Venezuela resigned her Miss Grand Venezuela 2024 title due to financial issues. [9]
