According to Ivan Gunawan, not only the main champion, but also the finalists who entered the Top 10 of Miss Grand Indonesia 2023 are entitled to the opportunity to represent Indonesia in international beauty pageants.
"Because all Queen Miss Mega Bintang are winners, I will not send only one person to the international event," he said.
Ivan announced the names of the beautiful women he will send to international beauty pageants at the Unleashing The Shining Stars - Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia 2023 event held on Monday night, (17/7/2023).
2. Special Training
Those who will participate in international events are Ritassya Wellgreat who will participate in Miss Grand International 2023, followed by Vanessa Hatter representing Indonesia for Miss Face of Humanity 2023, Valerie Avril for Miss Eco International 2024, Chesy Anbrika for the Reina Hispanoamericana 2023 contest, Sahida Sheik for the Miss Aura International 2023 contest, and Vania Agustina for World Top Model 2023.
