The Miss Earth Belize 2026 pageant week commenced with the introduction of four delegates, each championing specific environmental causes such as eco-culture, community conservation, reuse campaigns, and the protection of the Belize River. Supported by various local sponsors and government departments, the event included a city-wide cleanup to address single-use plastics.

Finance Director Wendy Castillo described the competition as an “international platform that empowers women to use their voices and influence to protect our planet.” The pageant aims to select a representative for the global Miss Earth contest, following Belize’s previous title win in 2021.
