Selection of contestants

Overview

The national finalists for the Miss Grand Malaysia 2018 pageant were determined through three selection systems: the 8 automatic spots were given to the respective state pageant winners and first-runner-up (Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Sabah, and Sarawak) while the remaining 16 were pre-determined from either the state pageant finalists or the central audition.[7] The wildcard format is based on decisions made by the Miss Grand Malaysia director, Jude Benjamin, who would pick potential contestants considered to be ones with great potential and deserving of the chance to compete on the national stage.[8]

Regional pageants

Out of sixteen states and federal territories of Malaysia, only four held the regional preliminary pageants for Miss Grand Malaysia 2018, including, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Sabah, and Sarawak.[3][8][9] In addition to the state winners, some state runners-up or finalists also qualified for the national stage.[8][9]

In the Borneo States, division-level pageants were also held, 12 pageants in all 12 divisions of Sarawak and 7 pageants in Sabah, to determine the local representatives for the state-level contest.[10][11]

The details of Miss Grand Malaysia 2018's state-level pageants are detailed below.
