Miss Grand Egypt is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Egyptian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International contest.[1][2][3] The title was first awarded in 2013 when a Cairo-based pharmacist, Aya Abdallah Ahmed, was assigned by the Miss Grand Egypt licensee, Amal Rezk, to represent Egypt in the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand.[4] Amal Rezk is also the director of a national pageant of Miss Egypt,[2][3] and another international platform, Miss Eco International.[5]
Since the first competition in 2013, Egyptian representatives have never been placed in Miss Grand International.[6][7][8][9][10]
Egypt joined Miss Grand International for the first time in 2013 and was represented by an appointed representative, Aya Abdallah Ahmed;[4] however, she was unplaced on the international stage held in Thailand.[6] From 2013 to 2021, the right to send Egyptian candidates to compete at Miss Grand International belonged to the director of Miss Egypt pageant, Amal Rezk,[1][2][3] and the representatives were either directly hand-picked or determined through such a national contest.[1][2][3][11]
In 2021, one of the Miss Egypt 2021 winners was expected to compete at Miss Grand International 2022 in Indonesia,[12] but no representative was elected,[13] due to the termination of the partnership between Miss Grand International (MGI PLC) and Miss Egypt after the Miss Grand Thailand-affiliated representative, Juthamas Mekseree, who was assigned to compete at the Egypt-based Miss Eco International 2021 which was also managed by Amal Rezk, together with other 8 country representatives were infected by COVID-19 during pageant activities and were left without proper management.[14][15]
