- Table notes
- In 2001, the title of the 1st runner-up was known as Miss Earth – Wind, before it was changed to Miss Earth – Air the following year.
- The original winner of Miss Earth 2002, Džejla Glavović of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was removed on May 28, 2003, due to "failure to comply with the stipulations in her contract". Per pageant rules, the original winner of Miss Earth – Air became the new Miss Earth and each subsequent runner-up advanced one position. Winfred Adah Omwakwe of Kenya was formally crowned Miss Earth 2002 on August 7, 2003. Slađana Božović of Yugoslavia became Miss Earth – Air, Juliana Drossou of Greece became Miss Earth – Water, and Elina Hurve of Finland, who was the original 4th runner-up, became Miss Earth – Fire.
- Miss Earth – Fire 2004, Yanina Gonzalez of Paraguay, previously competed at Miss Universe 2004 and achieved the same placement in that competition, 3rd runner-up. This made her the first Miss Earth titleholder to achieve the same placement in two different international pageants.
- India became the first country to score back-to-back Miss Earth – Air titles with Pooja Chitgopekar finish in 2007.
- Miss Earth – Air 2010, Jennifer Pazmiño of Ecuador, was removed due to her upcoming marriage in February 2011. Carousel Productions decided that the new Miss Earth – Air 2010 would be Viktoria Shchukina from Russia, who originally placed as a semi-finalist. This was the first time that a semi-finalist was appointed to become an elemental queen rather than another finalist. Unlike the 2002 removal, there was no movement of other finalists to positions one level higher, so the Water and Fire positions remained the same.
- Miss Earth – Water 2013, Punika Kulsoontornrut of Thailand, was removed due to her participation in Miss International 2014, a violation of her contract with Miss Earth. She finished 2nd runner-up in the latter competition, making her the second Miss Earth titleholder to achieve the same placement in two separate international pageants, after Yanina Gonzalez in 2004.
- Miss Earth – Water 2014, Maira Alexandra Rodriguez of Venezuela, joined the competition after Venezuela's original delegate for that year, Stephanie de Zorzi, withdrew due to weight issues. Rodriguez was originally the Venezuelan delegate to Miss Earth 2015. De Zorzi went on to compete in Miss Earth 2016, obtaining the title of Miss Earth – Water.
- Brazil became the first country to score back-to-back Miss Earth – Fire titles with Bruna Zanardo’ finish in 2016. However, Zanardo had to resign her title before the end of her reign,and semi-finalist Corrin Stellakis of the United States was declared the new Miss Earth – Fire 2016 on March 8, 2017.
- Colombia became the first country to score back-to-back Miss Earth – Water titles with Valeria Ayos’ finish in 2018.
Runners-up semifinalists
In the 2023 edition of the pageant, a new runner-up format was introduced. Unlike in previous years, the top 8 finalists who did not make it to the top 4 were announced as runners-up with equal placements.[2]

Countries/Territories by number of elemental titleholders
Miss Earth – Air
- Countries by number of wins
The Miss Earth – Air shall take over the title of Miss Earth, if:
- The outgoing titleholder cannot fulfill her duties. This could happen and may result to resignation, giving up the title, or removal
- The titleholder is removed due to deeds that violate the organization's policies. This has only happened in 2002.
The title of Miss Earth – Air has been awarded twenty-five times (2001–2025).
This table lists the number of Miss Earth – Air titles by country. There are some special considerations:
- As Kenya took over the Miss Earth title in 2002, the Miss Earth – Air position was taken by Yugoslavia after the succession took place.
- After Ecuador resigned the Miss Earth – Air title in 2010, the position was taken by Russia (Top 14 semifinalist).
The current Miss Earth – Air is Sóldís Ívarsdóttir from Iceland, as for the edition that took place on November 5, 2025, in Parañaque, Philippines.
