Miss Grand Sweden is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Swedish representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013, when a finalist in Miss Universe Sweden 2012, Claudia Sundberg, was assigned to partake in the inaugural edition of the parent international tournament in Thailand.[5][6] In 2014, the license was transferred to the Miss Queen of Scandinavia Organization (MQOS),[7] the Miss World Sweden organizer chaired by Peter Hadward, who served as the Miss Grand Sweden director until 2021.[8]
In the early years under the direction of MQOS, Swedish representatives for Miss Grand International were elected through the Miss World Sweden pageant;[1] however, from 2018 to 2021, all representatives were instead handpicked.[2][3][4]
History
Since the establishment of the Miss Grand International in 2013, Sweden has always sent its representatives to compete; the first Swedish candidate at the mentioned tournament was Claudia Sundberg,[5] who was appointed to the title of Miss Grand Sweden after obtaining the fifth position at the Miss Universe Sweden 2013 pageant.[6] Sundberg then represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2013 in Thailand, but she withdrew from the contest before its final round.[citation needed]
Later in 2014, the titleholder was directly determined through the Miss Universe Sweden pageant;[9] however, the license was instead transferred to another organizer, Miss Queen of Scandinavia, which also served as the licensee of the Miss World Sweden pageant.[7] Since then one of the Miss World Sweden runners-up were assumed to be Miss Grand Sweden until the contract was terminated in 2022.[1][2]
Since the first competition in 2013, the highest and only placement of Swedish representatives at Miss Grand International is the top 20 finalists, obtained in 2018 by Hanna-Louise Haag Tuvér.[10]
