“While we are devastated that Melany will not be attending the 2023 Miss Intercontinental Final we look forward to her representing Australia at the 2024 Miss Intercontinental Final. We wish the entire Miss Intercontinental Organization all the best, we will be cheering all their incredible contestants from afar this year and look forward to joining them again next year”, they added.
