Background

History

has been participating in the Miss Grand International since its establishment in 2013. Throughout 2013 – 2016, under the leadership of a Venezuelan marketing publicist Bruno Caldieron, either winners or runners-up of the "Señorita Deporte Venezuela" pageant were designated as Miss Grand Venezuela. Thenceforward, the license of Miss Grand Venezuela was respectively transferred to Miguel Segovia, Osmel Sousa, and George Wittles in 2017, 2019, and 2020. However, the country representatives during such periods were all appointed; no respective national pageant was held to elect the titleholders. Until 2021, the inaugural edition of Miss Grand Venezuela was expected to be held under the leadership of George Wittles but postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the country's representative was instead appointed.
After the aforementioned urgent postponement, the inaugural edition of the national contest "Miss Grand Venezuela" finally took place in Caracas in July 2022, the winner of such becomes the first Miss Grand Venezuela titleholder to be elected through the Miss Grand national pageant.

Selection of contestants

In the first edition of Miss Grand Venezuela, the national aspirants were determined either by the state licensee or the national organizer through their regional contests or casting events, in which some state pageants were permitted to select more than one qualified winner, such as Miss Grand Los Andes held in San Cristóbal, where the representatives of Táchira, Barinas, Mérida, and Trujillo, were determined.
