Out of the 6th, only two have been African. These are Leila Lopes from Angola in 2011, and Zozibini from South Africa in 2019. Nevertheless, like all sports, every year is a new year and here we have another new year of Africans looking forward to a European entity to justify our beauty. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisana, USA. With almost up to 90 delegates, the contestants will go through a series of competitions from national costumes, swimwear, and evening gowns.
