In the grand final competition held on June 10, the results of the preliminary competition—which consisted of the swimsuit and evening gown competition as well as the closed-door interview and all other pre-pageant activities—determined the top 20 and top 10 semifinalists.[37] After the swimsuit and evening gown parade of the top 20 finalists, the final ten were announced.[37]

In the final ten rounds, each qualified candidate delivered a speech related to the pageant campaign, Stop War and Violence. The judges then scored each candidate based on their stage performances and the speech. Together with previous scores, five candidates with the highest accumulated scores qualified for the final question and answer round, in which all of the five candidates were asked the same questions, and the judges scored them based on their answers. The candidate with the highest accumulated score, Adriana Yanca of Zona da Mata Mineira, was announced as Miss Grand Brazil 2023.[37]

At all stages, the lowest score given by a juror was excluded to prevent biased scoring.[37]

The judges for the preliminary and grand final rounds include:

  • Ceres Sessin Ribeiro — Businessperson and godmother of the Miss Brazil CNB
  • Mário Medeiros — Plastic surgeon and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery
  • Isabella MeninMiss Grand International 2022
