  • A new musical score was introduced during the entire pageant telecast, veering away from the Orente musical score which was used from 2004-2010.

Replacements

  • Curaçao Curaçao - Evalina van Putten replaced Monifa Jansen since Monifa did not meet the age requirements stipulated by the Miss Universe Organization. Monifa was born in March, 1993.[14]
  • El Salvador El Salvador - Mayra Aldana replaced Alejandra Ochoa after Alejandra suffered from chronic respiratory illness and wasn't able to compete.[15]

Designations

  •  Denmark - Sandra Amer was appointed as Miss Universe Denmark 2011 after a casting call took place.
  •  Greece - Iliana Papageorgiou was appointed by the Star Hellas organization to represent Greece at Miss Universe 2011. The annual Star Hellas pageant takes place in September, conflicting with the international final.
  •  Guatemala - Alejandra Barillas was appointed as Miss Universe Guatemala 2011 in a special ceremony. Barillas was the original representative to Miss Universe 2010 but due to an injury she couldn't attend. One of her runner-up's (Jessica Scheel) ended up taking her place.
  •  Kazakhstan - Valeriya Aleinikova was appointed to represent Kazakhstan after the Miss Kazakhstan organization dropped the franchise and a new organization took over.
  •  Montenegro - Nikolina Loncar was appointed to represent Montenegro after she couldn't compete in 2010 because she didn't meet the minimum age requirement.
  •  Vietnam - Vũ Thị Hoàng My was appointed to represent Vietnam after the pageant organizers were unable to host a beauty pageant. The permission was granted by the Ministry of Culture of Vietnam, who authorizes the international representation of the nation events of any kind.
