In a landmark move toward inclusivity and empowerment, the Miss Grand International (MGI) Organization has officially announced a major change in its eligibility criteria: beginning with the 2025 edition, the pageant will now welcome contestants between the ages of 18 and 35.

This progressive shift expands the previous age limit and reflects MGI’s commitment to celebrating diverse forms of beauty, maturity, and life experience. By opening its doors to a broader age range, MGI recognizes the evolving landscape of modern pageantry—one where confidence, purpose, and impact transcend age.

This bold decision is expected to encourage more women from different walks of life to join the competition, bringing with them unique stories, passions, and advocacies.
