Background

On June 25, 2024, Miss Lebanon broadcaster LBCI confirmed that the pageant would be held on July 27. [5] The announcement came after a one-year hiatus, during which LBCI was forced to cancel the 2023 competition due to the lack of sponsors. [6] It was revealed that Lebanese singer Elissa would be performing during the event. [7] [8]

International Lebanese jeweler Mouawad was the crown sponsor for this pageant, and provided the Cedar of Hope crown. [9]

As is customary, a Lebanese fashion designer Tony Ward was chosen to provide evening gowns to the contestants. [10]

For the first time, the jury was entirely made up of women. This was an effort to promote female empowerment. [11]

Selection of participants

In March 2024 LBCI released a video on Instagram encouraging Lebanese women to attend the Miss Lebanon 2024 contestant casting. Those living in the abroad were also encouraged to enter the competition. [12]
