History
After a Venezuelan jewelry designer, George Wittles, obtained the license to run Miss Grand Venezuela in 2020, he franchised regional licenses to state organizers who would name the state representatives for the national contest.[7][8] For the state of Anzoátegui, the franchise was granted to José Alexander Herrera, the director of a pageant training academy named Coach de Misses.[1] He organized the first Miss Grand Anzoátegui contest in December 2021,[1] and the contest's winner, Valentina Martínez, later won the national competition held in Caracas in August 2022.[3][5]
