 Miss Grand Laos 2022 Grand Final Competition, on August 28, 2022, YouTube video |
Miss Grand Laos 2022 (Lao: ມີສແກຣນລາວ 2022) was the third edition of the Miss Grand Laos beauty pageant, held on August 27, 2022, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, located in the country's capital, Vientiane.[1][2][3] Twenty contestants, who qualified for the national pageant through an audition round held earlier on July 10, competed for the title,[1][4][5] and a twenty-five-year-old Lao Development Bank personnel, Phoutsavanh Vongkhamxao was named the winner,[2][6][7][8] and received rewards of ₭100 million Kip in cash, Lao Airlines flights, and others.[2][3] Vongkhamxao later represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2022 in Indonesia but was unplaced.[9]
After three years of hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Miss Grand Laos contest was brought back by a Laotian make-up artist based in Thailand, Saikeo Sidavong, who has served as the director of the pageant since 2019.[6][10] An application was officially opened in early 2022, then the initial profile screening was done virtually by an organizer, and the qualified applicants were invited to attend an actual audition in Vientiane on July 10, 2022, to select the final 20 candidates, who were officially revealed in the press conference held on July 19, which was also attended by the top 10 finalists of Miss Grand Thailand 2022 as well as the president of Miss Grand International, Nawat Itsaragrisil.[4]
The preliminary round of the contest was held on August 20 to determine the top 10 finalists, also at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.[4] In addition to such an event, the national costume contest was also held, in which the winning costume was later worn by Miss Grand Laos 2022 winner, Phoutsavanh Vongkhamxao, during the national costume competition of the Miss Grand International 2022 pageant in Indonesia.[11][12]
