The Miss Supranational Organization has announced that the coronation for the 12th edition of Miss Supranational i.e., Miss Supranational 2020 which was scheduled for December has been postponed and will now take place in 2021. The decision has been taken due to the ongoing pandemic across the world.

Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski, President of the Miss and Mister Supranational Organization announced the news of postponing of the beauty pageant via official social media accounts and website. He stated, “Having our competitions during a global pandemic was never an option for us. It is not a risk that we are prepared to take and we do not feel 2020 is a good time for an international event with so many participating countries. Our number one priority is the health, safety and well-being of our contestants; therefore, it was an easy decision to make.”

The organization also mentioned that in the coming months, they will evaluate the situation across the world and discuss with their broadcast partner to determine the best date for the next competitions. “I want to reiterate that we will be back stronger than ever when we feel assured that it is possible to travel easily and safely and that the host country is safe, too,” he added.

Miss Supranational 2019 Anntonia Porsild from Thailand will continue to be the official ambassador for the organization until the next coronation ceremony along with Mister Supranational 2019 Nate Crnkovich from the United States. Gerhard mentioned that the organization is very fortunate to have these two as the titleholders as they have embraced the current situation of pandemic that hampered their reign with utmost understanding and have done whatever they could from their respective homes. “I believe they deserve a longer reign and we hope to give them more opportunities when the world becomes more stable,” he mentioned.

Andre Sleigh; Creative director of Miss and Mister Supranational stated that there are some candidates who have already been selected for the competition and in the coming months there will be more who will be selected and the delegates should use this extra time given to them to prepare for the finale. He added, “We will use this extra time to highlight and feature the journey of each contestant in the running for the next Miss and Mister Supranational titles in greater depth than ever before.” The highlighted feature on specific delegate will help the people to understand the in-depth about the delegates and their aim to win the title.
