Miss Grand Tahiti is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Tahiti representatives who competed at the national event, Miss Grand France, or an international stage of Miss Grand International. [1] [2] [3] The title was first awarded in 2014 when the 2nd runner-up Miss Tahiti 2014 was appointed to represent Tahiti at the Miss Grand International 2014 pageant in Thailand, [1] followed by 1st runner-up Miss Tahiti 2016, Vaiata Buisson, who competed internationally in Miss Grand International 2016 in Las Vegas.

Tahiti joined the Miss Grand International pageant twice; in 2014 and 2016, [1] [2] [3] but obtained placement only once, in 2016, by Vaiata Buisson. [4] [5]

History

Tahiti made its debut in Miss Grand International in 2014, when Miss Tahiti acquired the license and appointed the 2014 2nd vice-miss, Kohotu Ariitai, to compete internationally in Thailand. [6] However, Kohotu was unplaced, then no Tahiti delegate in the 2015 international edition. [7]

Miss Tahiti competed in Miss Grand International again in 2016, represented by the 1st runner-up Miss Tahiti 2016, Vaiata Buisson, [8] [9] who qualified to the top 20 finalists in the international pageant held on October 25, in Las Vegas. Since then, no Tahiti candidates in Miss Grand International due to a lack of national licensees. [4] [5]

In 2019, a model Alicia Hoatua-Chave nominated herself as Tahiti representative for the Miss Grand France 2019 pageant, but was unplaced.

National and international competition

In 2014 and 2016, the runners-up of Miss Tahiti were sent to compete internationally in Miss Grand International. Later in 2019, Tahiti sent its representative to participate in Miss Grand France, as detailed below.
