The Miss Grand International (MGI) organization has officially announced its first-ever “MGI All Stars” edition, an open competition welcoming all beauty queens who have competed on an international stage.
On Thursday, the Thailand-based pageant released a teaser video calling on former contestants to step back into the spotlight. The clip proclaimed, “Every opportunity, every achievement, your dream still lives. All beauty queens, any pageant, come compete.”
Full details were released shortly after midnight on Sunday, December 7. The competition is open to women and transgender women aged 20 to 40, regardless of marital status and motherhood, who have previously competed in an international pageant but have not yet won a crown.
MGI announced that applications are now open. The pageant will be held in Bangkok, Thailand starting January 25 and will culminate in the Grand Final on February 13, 2026.
“The winner will take home the All Stars Crown and a life-changing prize of USD 100,000 to 1,000,000,” the organization stated.
The announcement immediately stirred excitement among Filipino fans, who began rallying behind their favorite “star players.”
Among the names widely mentioned are former MGI delegates Samantha Bernardo and Roberta Tamondong, as well as Miss Universe Philippines queens MJ Lastimosa, Michelle Dee, Rabiya Mateo, and Gazini Ganados. Some netizens even humorously suggested Miss Universe titleholders Pia Wurtzbach (2015) and Catriona Gray (2018) as potential contenders.
