From 87 contestants, Global Beauties will select the top 50, the top 20 and finally the winner.

The winner will receive a campaign medal named Yulia, designed by Greg Borowski in 1999. The medal is named after Russian beauty queen Yulia Lemigova, who was voted as the Most beautiful girl in the Grand Slam ranking for the 20th century.
