Miss World 2012 contestants were evaluated by a panel of judges.^[118]

The primary site for the competition was Ordos in Inner Mongolia, China. A fashion show was held in Shanghai, and the beachwear competitions were held at the desert resort of Xiangshawan.

On 31 January 2013, the official website of Miss World Organisation released a statement regarding the scoreboard errors in the final telecast last 18 August 2012. Miss World was under siege after beauty watchers, fans and even National Directors noticed some inconsistencies in the scoring system. According to the official statement of the Ionoco Ltd., it says that the errors occurred on the graphical scoreboard were solely caused by human error on part of the operator. Miss World Organization provided the Ionoco Ltd. with verified scores, however, the operator failed to update the score table correctly resulting in a discrepancy between the position of the contestants in the scoreboard and the point values displayed.^[121]
