Belize to Host 2026 Miss Black International Ambassador Pageant

Belize has been chosen as the host country for the 2026 Miss Black International Ambassador Pageant, following an official announcement by the Miss Black International Ambassador Organization (MBIA) from Los Angeles, California. The selection marks a major international recognition for Belize, positioning the country as the centerpiece for one of MBIA’s most culturally immersive global pageant experiences to date.  Alongside the host country announcement, Belizean author and empowerment advocate Antina Campbell, the reigning Ms. Black Globe Belize, has been appointed as MBIA’s new Executive Director. In this leadership role, Campbell will oversee the organization’s strategic direction, international delegate engagement, and program development as preparations begin for the 2026 pageant cycle.  In preparation for the upcoming international cycle, MBIA will host a Global Virtual Informational Session on December 13. The session is open to women interested in participating in the 2026 pageant and will introduce MBIA’s new leadership team, outline the organization’s vision and goals, provide exclusive details about the Belize-hosted experience, and explain application timelines and next steps.
