86 delegates competed for the Miss Earth crown for 2015.[15][16][17]
Judges

Some of the judges for Miss Earth 2015 were:
- Catharina Svensson Brink – Miss Earth 2001 from Denmark[84] She was the winner of the first Miss Earth competition in 2001.[85]
- Diana Alando Oyugi – United Nations Women’s Guild in Vienna's president[84]
- Dick Gommer – co-owner of Global Water Engineering and former country director of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization[84]
Additional judges from the fashion and entertainment industries were also present at the event.[86]
During the final question-and-answer portion of the event, Angelia Ong was asked by one of the judges to devise a slogan that could be used for the next fifteen years of the pageant, to which Ong offered, "We will because we can."[86] Her full reply was, "We will because we can. I want everybody to know that all things are possible and things are feasible if we work together. We will because we can."[24][87] The judges were also impressed with Ong's progressive stances regarding same sex marriage.[88]
Controversies
- Miss Taiwan R.O.C. Wen-Yin Ting was ejected from the competition due to her refusal to exchange her initial sash that said "Taiwan R.O.C." for one that said "Chinese Taipei" after China pressured the organization to make the change.[89]
- Miss Earth India Aaital Khosla has garnered a lot of negative criticism after Miss Earth India's eco-video showed parts of Nepalese landscapes as one of her own nation. The video showcased the hills and mountain ranges including Mount Everest and the traffic scenes of Nepal’s cities. It also indicated that the Miss Earth India organization failed to cross check the facts, plagiarized the video clips, completing the eco-video in haste without any prior responsibility. Amid much criticism, Miss Earth India Organization, owned by Glamanand Super Model India, together with Aaital Khosla then apologized to the Nepalese citizens and the world.[90]
