After the successfully mounting its 20th edition virtually last year, the Miss Earth organization decided to go with another virtual format for 2021, with the grand coronation scheduled to be held on 21st November 2021. This year, Miss Earth takes on the theme “Colors of the Earth” to reflect the vast and unique biodiversity of the world. It also alludes to the brighter outlook on 2021 coming from a rather bleak 2020 due to the pandemic. The winner this year will succeed Miss Earth 2020 Lindsey Marie Coffey of USA.
The organization has released the official timeline and schedule for the preliminary virtual activities for the pageant. So, without any further ado, here is the official schedule for Miss Earth 2021 –

Even without the live coronation event, Miss Earth followers can still look forward to an exciting virtual production showcasing the country’s breathtaking tourism destinations and, of course, the beauty of an Earth Ambassador. The preliminary activities and the finals will be broadcasted on Miss Earth’s official Facebook page and YouTube channel.
The pageant was also held virtually for the first time in November 2020 where Lindsey Coffey of the United States made history by becoming the first delegate from United States to win the Miss Earth title. In the same event, the elemental winners were also crowned, where Stephany Zreik of Venezuela won Miss Earth Air 2020, Roxanne Allison Baeyens of the Philippines was Miss Earth Water 2020, and Michala Rubinstein of Denmark won Miss Earth Fire 2020.
