Miss Grand Uganda licensee timeline

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]

History

[edit]

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]
