Like every year, one of the most prestigious beauty pageant contests in the world took place this past October. Miss Grand International is aiming to become the most distinct competition and given last month’s report card, it very well could. The competition took place over the space of a week in Bangkok and featured a number of entertaining events.
Miss Grand International was done under the support for the Motto “Stop the War and Violence” which speaks of the nature which it embodies when it comes to supporting a cause. Miss Grand International is hardly a pageant show like any other: through a strong advocacy for important moral values such as the reduction of violence, the care for the environment we leave to our future generations and the improvement of life quality for people around the world, it is a wonderful stage through which to raise the awareness and thought that at times these shows are accused of lacking.
In fact, the logo of the event itself has to do with the advocacy for a better world. Miss Grand International’s Lady Torch is a figure that holds a lit torch on its right hand, firmly and high, something symbolic which entails there being peace under a singular shining light in the future. The body represents the beauty of the winner and collectively it represent that along with everybody else, it is winner of this contest that should be upholding the symbolism of non-violence.
This year’s competition featured yet another winner from Latin America. This time it was Anea Garcia from the Dominican Republic who secured the title after the edged out her Australian competitors. Overall the event was a wonderful success and everybody awaits next year’s edition with great anticipation, if it is anything like this years, it should be a wonderful one.
