This marked the first time a province won back-to-back titles in the pageant's history.

Indonesia Entertainment Production (IEP), a subsidiary of the Indonesia Entertainment Group (IEG), indicated that SCTV was to be one of the media partners as well as a television network that has full broadcast rights to broadcast the final night live after consecutive four editions of the event.

The other 35 contestants were selected by a committee through central auditions held at Graha Mustika Ratu, the organization's headquarters in Jakarta.

The selection was supplemented by one delegate per 15 provinces who had been determined their 'Puteri Indonesia Fevorit Daerah', subsequently chosen by viewers through a public vote on the official website.

[10] The organization also provided a two-ticket opportunity for alumni who never reached the top three in previous years, but were eventually transferred for voting.

This edition marked the planned debut of five new provinces which were included in the Eastern Indonesia group due to expansion on 30 June 2022 based on Law No.

[11] This plan was later not implemented because the organization admitted that the administration was not yet complete and the regional government was not ready to send their delegation.

[12][13] The representatives of North Maluku and Banten 1, Ratnadila Muhammad Saleh Tuanan Al Faroeq and Giftia Wardani later withdrew due to personal and educational reasons, respectively.

[14][15] Fitria Helnawati, the representative of West Sumatra, withdrew halfway through the competition due to illness.

In this challenge, all contestants must show their make-up skills using Mustika Ratu cosmetic products through short videos.
