Miss Earth 2024 will be the 24th edition of the Miss Earth pageant, to be held at the Okada Manila, in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines on November 9, 2024.[2]
Drita Ziri of Albania will crown her successor at the end of the event.[3]
The Miss Earth organization in September 2024 announced that the Philippines will be hosting Miss Earth 2024. The coronation night is to be held on November 9, 2024 at the Okada Manila in Parañaque, Metro Manila while pre-pageant activities started on October. The theme for the pageant is "HERITAGE", with the organizers aiming to promote the eco-tourism destinations of the host country and heritage of its contestants.[1]
This edition will mark the debut of Algeria and the United Arab Emirates and will also feature the returns of El Salvador, which last competed in 2015; Samoa in 2018; Fiji in 2019; Costa Rica and Iceland in 2020; Italy in 2021;[4] and others last competed in 2022.
15 countries withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition, while Bosnia and Herzegovina's Hena Mašović and Croatia's Lana Vuković withdrew due of Visa problems.
The delegates were expected to arrive in the Philippines from October 19 to 21. From October 24 to November 5, they are scheduled to visit different destinations in the Philippines and take part in education tours in schools. They are also expected to undergo pre-judging for long gown, swimsuit and talent.[5]
On October 23, 75 delegates were introduced during the Presentation of Delegates held at the Okada Manila in Parañaque. The event has a partnership with Designers Circle Philippines (DCP) in showcasing and featuring Indigenous Weaves of the Philippines to celebrate sustainability and cultural heritage.[6] Drita Ziri hosted the event.[4] The attire choices for the candidates is noted for being a deviation from the customary practice of making the women wear swimsuits before guests practiced in the previous editions.[7]
The Darling of the Press award was determined through a vote of media personnel attending the event while the Best in Appearance award was determined through an online poll. The four winners in the latter gains a "Hope Star", an advantage for the "Miss People's Choice" poll. The Hope Star doubles their voting count in a certain period. The winner of the Miss People's Choice will automatically secure a place in the Top 20 in the final night.[7]
