The show started with an opening number as a tribute to the World Cup. Then all delegates introduced themselves in the parade of nations carrying their countries’ flags. After that, the 14 semi-finalists were announced (due to a tie, one more delegate than the expected advanced to the next round of competition).
They were: United States, Venezuela, Guatemala, Peru, Poland, Dominican Republic, South Africa, Canada, Belgium, Egypt, Colombia, Portugal, Philippines and Netherlands.
The semi-finalists competed in swimsuits designed by Alexander Gonzales, and wearing gowns chosen by themselves. The scores they received from the judges determined the 6 finalists, who came from Egypt, Belgium, Portugal, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Canada.
From these 6 lucky beauties, judges picked 19-year-old Mayte Brito Medina. “I still cannot believe it. I am very excited and proud, my country will go wild!”, she said with a radiant smile on her face.
The Mayor of Campo Grande, Nelson Trad, spoke to the public and said that the city was honored to welcome this important event, and wished the best of luck to all representatives.
In this first edition of Miss Global Teen, the 23 international beauties visited the stunning sights of Bonito, and enjoyed the hospitality of Campo Grande.
Miss Global Teen 2010 won a cash prize of USD 5.000, jewelry, and a replica of the pageant’s official crown, designed by Tiago Seixas. She was crowned by Isabella Zaupa, Miss Mato Grosso do Sul/World 2010.
