In addition to crowning the winner, the country representative for the 10th-anniversary edition of Miss Grand International, Sabrina Deraneck of Mérida, was also revealed;[4][8][9] Deraneck had been elected the first runner-up at another national pageant, 2022 El Concurso by Osmel Sousa, and was later appointed the country representative by the Venezuelan Miss Grand licensee, George Wittles.[8][10] However, in early September – one month before the commencement of the international tournament, Deraneck resigned the title due to health problems,[11] caused the organizer to assign Luiseth Materán Miss Universe Venezuela 2021 as the replacement.[12]
The grand final round of the pageant was hosted by Vanessa Coello, Leo Aldana, and Yanuaria Verde; and was beamed live to a virtual audience worldwide via the pageant YouTube channel, named GrandTV-VE.[4][13] Originally, the winner of the competition was expected to participate at the Miss Grand International 2022 but the organizer later decided to appoint a new country representative for such an international event and planned to send this edition winner to the 2023 competition in Vietnam instead.[7]
