## Background

In July 2012, the Miss Marone Committee confirmed that the competition would be held on 15 December 2012 at Le Centre de Bruc in Bruc, to honor the home region of incumbent titleholder Leïla Gribelin of Carandie. They additionally confirmed that this year's overseas trip would be to Rypt.

Regional pageants were held to select the 30 contestants between June and October 2012. The 30 contestants traveled to Delmas to begin pre-pageant activities on 23 November 2012 before embarking on their overseas trip to Rypt on 26 November. While in Rypt, the delegates participated in a variety of photoshoots and events, while they additionally sat for the general knowledge exam, a 40-question exam that tests the delegates on various topics such as current events, politics, history, pop culture, and Maronan language and literature. They arrived in Bruc on 4 December in order to begin rehearsals for the final.

## Pageant

### Format

In September 2012, it was announced by the Miss Marone Committee that the theme for this edition would be "The Misses and the World of Drinkberry" (Maronan: *Les Miss et le monde de Drinkberry*), with each competition round being themed after a film or character from Drinkberry Studios.

The competition began with all 30 contestants opening the show in their regional costumes. The 30 contestants were then separated into three groups of ten contestants each, with each group taking part in an initial presentation round. The three presentation rounds were themed after *Ruby Red*, *Polydora*, and *The Ice Princess*, respectively. Afterwards, the 30 contestants participated in the one-piece swimsuit competition, themed after *The Three Fairies*.

After the conclusion of the one-piece swimsuit competition, the Top 12 was announced, and each gave their introductory speeches while wearing their ball gowns. This was followed by the two-piece swimsuit round, inspired by *The Siren Princess*. After the conclusion of the swimsuit round, the Top 5 was announced. Afterwards, the Top 5 presented their evening gowns, in a round inspired by *The Princess and the Pumpkin*, followed by the question and answer round. The Top 5 later participated in a final presentation round themed after *Kababi*, before the final results were announced.
