Miss Grand Apulia (Italian : Miss Grand Puglia) is an Italian regional female beauty pageant, [1] [2] founded in 2021 by a Martina Franca-based entrepreneur, Giuseppe Romanelli. [3] [4] The winners of the contest represent the region of Apulia in the Miss Grand Italy national pageant. [5] [6]

Contents

Since their first participation in the Miss Grand Italy pageant, Apulia representatives won the contest once in 2022 by Miriam Malerba, [5] [7] who then competed internationally in the international tournament in Indonesia, [5] but was unplaced. [8] [9] Other placements they obtained remain unclarified due to a lack of summarized national competition results publicized by both regional and national organizers.

History

After Miss Grand Italy began franchising the regional license to local organizers, the Apulia franchise was awarded to entrepreneur Giuseppe Romanelli of Martina Franca, who has been serving as the director of Miss Grand Apulia since 2021. [3] [4] [10] [11] Under his directorship, the first contest of Miss Grand Apulia happened on 21 August 2021, at the Club L'egizio Restaurant in Martina Franca, [3] in which four candidates were elected as the region representatives to the Miss Grand Italy 2021 pageant. [4] The contest has been held annually since then. [12] [1] [13]

Besides the regional winner, some runners-up were also sent to compete in the national contest. [13] Several local auditions and contests were organized annually to elect the finalists for the region-level pageant. [14] [15]
