Miss Grand Uganda is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Ugandan representatives competing at the Miss Grand International contest. [1] [2] [3] [4] The first titleholder was a 26-year-old model Pierra Akwero who was assigned to compete at the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand in 2013. [5] Since 2022, the license to send Ugandan candidates to join the mentioned international contest has belonged to the Oliver Nakakande Foundation. [6]
Since the first competition in 2013, Ugandan representatives have never been placed in Miss Grand International. [7] [8] [9] [10]
Uganda occasionally takes part in Miss Grand International; it debuted in 2013 and was represented by an appointed representative, Pierra Akwero; [5] however, she was unplaced on the international stage held in Thailand. [7] The license was transferred to different licensees each year, and all representatives were directly hand-picked; no Miss Grand National was held to determine the titleholders. [1] [2] [3] [11] Statistically, all Ugandan candidates competing at the Miss Grand International received non-placements. [7] [8] [9] [10]
