Format

In contrast to the competition's previous year's model, where the representatives were appointed, this year will see a return to the competition's standard format, with the initial process beginning with registration and auditions and ending with the shortlisting of candidates to the grand finale.
For the first time in its history, the pageant accepts applications from participants of all relationship statuses - married, divorced, pregnant, engaged, widowed and trans women. Additionally, the height standard has been changed to a reduced format.
