The grand final of the pageant was broadcast to the audience nationwide via a state-owned television channel, Canal 1,[1][2][3][4] and was hosted by Lees Garcia Miss Grand International 2014 and Manuela Restrepo Miss Teen Colombia 2022/23.
The national candidates for Miss Grand Colombia 2023 were chosen by either the national organizer or regional licensees; however, most of them were appointed, and only one sub-national pageant, Miss Grand Colombia in Europe, has been held.[11][12] Still, the winner of such a contest later resigned from the title, which caused the organizer, AIHME Association (Italian-Hispanic Association of Women Entrepreneurs Emigrants in Europe), to appoint the 1st runner-up as the replacement.[13]
Of the central organizer-selected candidates, each of them was later assigned to represent one of the country's administrative divisions that lacked a regional licensee.
