Miss Grand United States 2024 was the 7th edition of the Miss Grand USA pageant,[1] held on August 12, 2024, in Miami, Florida,[2][3] at the Club M2.[4][5] Contestants from 19 states of the United States competed for the title.[6][7]
At the end of the event, Miss Grand United States 2023 Sthephanie Miranda crowned Cora Griffen of Georgia as her successor.[6] Griffen later represented the country at the international stage, Miss Grand International 2024,[6] held in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 25, 2024[8][9] but was unplaced.
This year's edition was also the first Miss Grand United States organized by Protagonist Live LLC with former 2nd runner-up Miss Grand United States 2023, Rachel Slawson, as the pageant director under Iron Tiara LLC.[1][10]
