Background

[edit]

History

[edit]
Malailak Phachan was elected Miss Grand Laos 2019 at the Miss World Laos 2019 pageant held in Vientiane.

Before 2017, there was only one national beauty pageant, Miss Laos, that was held annually in Laos; however, its winners were not sent to compete on the international stage.[7] To promote Laos pageant industry, the president of Miss Grand International, Nawat Itsaragrisil, together with Miss Laos chairman, Hongkham Souvannavong, cooperatively ran the first edition of Miss Grand Laos in 2017 at ITECC Shopping Mall in Vientiane, to select a country representative for Miss Grand International 2017,[1][2] in which, a 19-year-old girl from the capital city, Chinnaly Nolasing [lo] was named the winner.[8] In addition to Miss Grand Laos, Miss Laos Company also holds the license of Miss Universe Laos and Miss International Laos [lo].[9]

In 2019, Miss Laos company relinquished the Miss Grand franchise to "Saikeo Sidavong", the organizer of Miss World Laos [lo].[4] Under Sidavong management, his first affiliated Miss Grand Laos was determined through Miss World Laos 2019 [lo] contest.[10][11] However, the elected titleholder did not participate at the international stage Miss Grand International 2019 in Venezuela due to VISA issues.[12][13][14] The country representatives in 2020 and 2021 were appointed to the position without organizing the national contest as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[15][16]

Since its inception, the Miss Grand Laos has been arranged under the rigorous control of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party's established governor, the Lao People's Revolutionary Youth Union (Lao:ສູນກາງຊາວໜຸ່ມປະຊາຊົນປະຕິວັດລາວ), which is dedicated to focusing on the fields of information, media, entertainment, art, and music as well as the domestic pageant industry.[7]

Selection of contestants

[edit]

In the first two editions of the Miss Grand Laos contest, the national aspirants were directly selected by the central organizer through an online application.[1][2][17] Later in 2023, Miss Grand Laos began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers, who would name eighteen provincial titleholders to compete in the national pageant.[18][19]
