Miss Grand Lebanon is a female beauty pageant title awarded to Lebanese representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant. [1] [2] [3] [4] The title was first awarded in 2013 to a Canadian Lebanese model, Elizabeth Ojeil, [5] after competing at the Miss Earth Canada 2023 pageant in late-August 2013 and finishing as the top 8 finalists. [6] Ojeil later became the licensee of Miss Grand Lebanon the following year. [1]

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Lebanon participated five times, all of its representatives were appointed and all went unplaced on the international stage. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

History

Lebanon debuted in the Miss Grand International pageant in 2013 when a finalist of Miss Earth Canada 2023, Elizabeth Ojeil, who is of Lebanon descent, was assigned by the Miss Earth Canada organizer, Rosotro Production, to represent Lebanon at the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand. [5] [6] After finishing the international pageant, her brother Jean-Paul Ojeil was granted the right to send a Lebanese representative to the 2014 edition, and an actress from Zahlé, Eliane Kerdy, was elected. [1] [2]

From 2017 to 2019, Lebanese representatives for Miss Grand International were sent by a Beirut-based organizer led by former Miss Lebanon 1985 Sawsan Alsayed, Al-Sawsan International Foundation. [12] [13] [14] However, no Miss Grand National was held; all titleholders during such a period were appointed. [4] [15]

Since 2020, due to a lack of licensees, no additional Miss Grand Lebanon has been elected.
