Pageant Format The results of the in-depth interviews, along with the preliminary competition—which consisted of the swimsuit and evening gown segments—determined the twenty semifinalists who advanced to the next round. The semifinalists competed in the swimsuit segment, after which the number of contestants was reduced to ten.
The top ten then competed in the evening gown segment, from which five finalists were selected to advance to the question-and-answer round. In addition, the winner of the online voting advanced directly as the sixth finalist. If the online voting winner had already been selected by the judges, the direct entry was instead awarded to the delegate with the second-highest number of votes.
The six finalists competed in the interview round, after which the field was narrowed down to three contestants. The final three then answered one final question, following which the winner and two runners-up were announced.
