mgi2014a Nawat Itsaragrisil, the Head of Miss Grand International, is a very generous man indeed. If he gave out a USD30,000.00 cash prize to Janelee Chaparro of Puerto Rico who won the inaugural edition of the impressive international pageant last year, the pot money has been increased to USD40,000.00* to whoever will be crowned Miss Grand International 2014. And just like Miss Universe, the winner will also be provided with a fully-furnished luxury apartment in Bangkok for one (1) year.

And if that’s not enough, I was also told that all the winners of the Special Awards (like Miss Photogenic, Friendship, Talent etc.) will be given a cash prize of USD3,000.00** each. Whew!

Where do I sign up, Khun Nawat? 😀

* – roughly equivalent to PhP1.7M (at current rates) and much higher than what is rewarded to the top winners of either Miss International and Miss Earth.
** – roughly equivalent to PhP130K (at current rates) which is already the cash prize of a Miss Universe 1st Runner-Up like Janine Tugonon.

  1. What about Miss WORLD, Norman?!!?

    Does MWO provide a luxurious Laura Ashley-furnished penthouse for Megan whenever she´s in London?

    • An apartment, yes. But probably not as well-appointed as a penthouse suite furnished by Laura Ashley. Who knows, she might even have a big room to herself in Julia’s big house.

  3. Thumbs up MGI!!! It makes sense to see beauty pageants winners benefit financial!

  4. I hope that having the fully furnished residence in Thailand does not mean the winner will have to stay there for a year – or is being the winner means its a full time job?
    Or is it? If so, wow… The cash prize is measly if that is the case…. Its not as if the title is prestigious like Miss U or Miss W that it sets you up for future opportunities after your reign…. Just thinking out loud.

    • The winner doesn’t have to stay in Bangkok the whole year, but she will have a well-appointed apartment at her disposal everytime she needs to be there. Unless, of course, the host delegate ends up winning.
