The Miss Universe Organization announced in August this year that it would not send a representative to participate in the 70th Miss Universe pageant in 2021, which will be held in Israel in December.
However, while no new announcement has been made by the organization, it appears that preparations may be underway for a last-minute effort to send a representative after the new candidate is selected.
The 70th edition of the Miss Universe global pageant will be held in December in the southern resort city of Eilat, Israel, where the current Miss Universe, Mexico’s Andrea Meza, will crown her successor.
