On 18th May 2024, the coronation night for Miss Queeniverse 2024 was held at the Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol in Hoofddorp, The Netherlands.
The coronation night was an organised project by Amsterdam-based GLAM Infinity where it epitomised the beauty; showcased the various talents and revealed the sharp-witted minds of 10 cordial candidates.
The objective of the event was to celebrate and welcome the visibility of the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/ questioning, intersex and asexual) community. Particularly, it led to an opportunity to make full-sounding noises in uplifting the ingenuity, cleverness, and intelligence of my dear fellow transgender women; that they are no longer hidden behind the scenes.
It was positively hosted by August Baluyot Mateo and Raymond Jay-ar and also, adjudicated by respective members of the jury. There was a special appearance and participation from Miss Queeniverse 2023, Cassandra Havana, before the introductory production number of the contestants on stage.

SEMI-FINALISTS
The announcement of awards contributed to the overall scores for each contender and led to the determination of who would be included in the top 5. That is why, the tabulation of candidates' scores fairly decided the announcement of who made it through the initial round of the contest:
candidate 4
Ram Villaflores (The Netherlands)
candidate 10
Asunta Mae (Denmark)
candidate 3
Mitchelle Agusto (Germany)
candidate 9
Hannakim Delena (Germany)
candidate 8
Chloe Bronek (The Netherlands)
This initial round was paired with the jittery Question and Answer portion with a twist. It is because the top 5 ladies were asked to convey their insightful interpretation of their chosen painting from local Filipino artists. Thus, the 3 contestants who delivered the strongest explanations reached the final round.
TITLE HOLDER AND RUNNERS-UP
The declaration of 3 finalists was followed by the ultimate Question and Answer portion in relation to the transgender community.
After the finalists confidently answered the one common question, last year’s title holder Cassandra Havana made her farewell walk and speech.
