Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago is a national female beauty pageant in Trinidad and Tobago to select its representative to the international Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2] The pageant was founded in 2023 by a Port of Spain-based event organizer, Stolen Productions Ltd. (SPL Pageants),[1][3] and is directed by Kehra Ramsubhag and Sean Paul,[1][4] who also served as the national licensees of Mister Grand International in Trinidad and Tobago since 2021.[1][4]
Initially, Trinidad and Tobago was projected to debut at the Miss Grand International pageant in 2015 and 2017,[5][6] but the assigned representatives withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[7][8]
Since the establishment of Miss Grand International in 2013, Trinidad and Tobago had never sent its representatives to compete until a newly established event organizer named Stolen Productions Ltd. (SPL Pageants) purchased the license in 2023 and planned to organize the first contest of Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago in that year's September to select the country representative for the 2023 international competition in Vietnam.[1]
The first edition of Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago was held in parallel with the male pageant, Mister Grand Trinidad and Tobago, from which the winner went to Mister Grand International 2023, held in the Philippines.[2] Each category will consist of fifteen candidates who qualified for the national final round through an audition held earlier on July 23 at Studio 28, located in the capital city, Port of Spain.[1][2][9]
Before acquiring the Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago franchise, the SPL Pageants, which was established in 2021, organized Mister Trinidad and Tobago as a stand-alone pageant,[10] and their representatives were placed as the first and third runners-up in the 2021 and 2022 international tournaments, respectively.[1]
