Miss Grand International 2018 was the sixth Miss Grand International pageant, held at the One Entertainment Park in Yangon, Myanmar, on October 25, 2018.

María José Lora of Peru crowned Clara Sosa of Paraguay as her successor at the end of the event.

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.

Selection of participants

Contestants from 75 countries and territories were selected to compete in the competition. 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.

The original representatives of Albania, Canada, Colombia, Kosovo, and Spain, 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. 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.

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.
