Both Dani Fitch and Silka Kurzak were respectively placed among the top 20 and 25 finalists in the international competition held in the United States and Poland,[7][8] while Teresa Yuol was unplaced.[7] Dani Fitch later became the national director of Miss Grand Australia the following year.[9][10]
