They are selected from the four continental regions: Africa, the Americas & the Caribbean, Asia & Oceania and Europe. In addition, the list will include the Fast-Track winners, who will qualify regardless of the region they belong to. From each continental region, the esteemed Miss World judges will select a Top 5 to determine the top 20 contestants for the competition. This will further be narrowed down to a Top 2, for the Top 8 contestants advancing in the beauty pageant competition. This means every continental region will have one winner and one runner-up.
