This year, there's a bunch of ladies who really surprised us during the preliminaries. But, only 20 girls will make it to the Finals - who are they going to be?
Here's a prediction and impression review of the MGI Prelims which happened earlier.
ASIA-PACIFIC
I believe that Thailand is the strongest Asian out there, followed by Israel, Indonesia, Lebanon and Philippines. Australia is such a performer as well. Wildcards to make it are Japan and Sri Lanka.
EUROPE
For Europe, we only have Russia, France, Hungary, Albania, Germany and Malta with good chances of making it to the Top 20. Luxemborg, Portugal and Sweden are the wildcards to make it.
LATINAS
Latinas rocked the MGI stage this year - there's so many to choose from! Apart from frontrunners Colombia, Venezuela - there's also Peru, who was very consistent. We also have Cuba, Bolivia, Mexico and Brazil. Panama, Ecuador, Domincan Rep might make it as well.
CARIBBEAN
For Caribbeans, we have Haiti and Puerto Rico
AFRICA
There's really no stunner in Africa this year but Ethiopia and South Sudan leads the pack.
Miss Gwand INTERNATIONAL 2014 TOP 5
I believe that MGI's formula for Top 5 must consist of ladies from different continents. Last year, we have 1 Caribbean, 1 Latina, 1 European, 1 Asia, 1 Australia.
This year, I believe that it would be a diverse Top 5 as well with Latinas (Colombia, Venezuela), Caribbean (Puerto Rico), European (Russia) and Asia (Thailand).
Here's my prediction:
Miss Gwand International 2014 - Colombia
1st Runner-up - Venezuela
2nd Runner-up - Russia
3rd Runner-up - Thailand
4th Runner-up - Puerto Rico
6. Peru
