Ximena Carrillo achieves Top 10 rankings at Miss Grand International

Ximena Carrillo, representing Guatemala, has achieved significant recognition during the early stages of the Miss Grand International 2026 competition in Thailand.

Carrillo secured a position in the Top 10 for the MGI Grand Experience, a category where public voting determines the winners. This achievement grants the winner special benefits, including visits to the MGI headquarters and The Grand Clinic, as well as opportunities to participate in live discussions with the organization's president. These votes also contribute to the overall score for the Miss Popular Vote.

Prior to the official concentration period, Carrillo also placed in the Top 10 Pre-arrival ranking, which recognizes candidates who gained public favor before the event began. The Miss Grand International 2026 pageant is scheduled to conclude with a grand final on October 10, 2026, at the MGI Hall in Bangkok.
