Selection of contestants
The national finalists of Miss Grand Italy 2023 were chosen by the regional organizers, entitled by the central organ MUPI SRL to select their representatives, through the regional pageants. Several regional organs held multiple audition events or local contests to determine the finalists for their regional pageant. For the autonomous region of Aosta Valley, which made its debut in Miss Grand Italy this year, the winner of an annual regional pageant, Miss Paradisia, will automatically qualify for the national pageant of Miss Grand Italy 2023.

In addition to the regional contests, the central organizer also arranged an online voting challenge to determine a challenging winner to automatically qualify for the national pageant; the challengers were divided into 13 group stages, in which the qualified applicants competed virtually for the duration of 14 to 15 days, after which the candidates with the most voting points qualified to the final challenging round and competed again to determine the final winner.

Regional pageants
Several regions hold their preliminary pageants to select their representatives for the national stage. In addition, a third-level contest (city-level) has also been observed, and the winners of such qualified for the regional contests.
