Shyare Andrade reaches final three in Miss Grand International voting

Ecuadorian representative Shyare Andrade has advanced to the final three of the ‘Country’s Power of the Year’ competition at Miss Grand International 2026 in Thailand. Following the fourth round of digital voting, which concluded on October 4, Andrade, along with representatives from Tanzania and Vietnam, secured the highest scores.

Andrade is competing for a spot in the final showdown for the ‘Country’s Power of the Year’ title. The winner of that final contest will receive an automatic pass to the Top 20 of the Miss Grand International grand final. Voting results were determined through interactions on the pageant's official Instagram posts and support from organization president Nawat Itsaragrisil.

In addition to her progress in the digital competition, Andrade was recognized with the ‘Best Outfit of the Day’ award on October 3 for her champagne-colored dress. The pageant continues with preliminary rounds and traditional costume parades leading up to the coronation ceremony scheduled for October 10.
