Miss Grand Guatemala is a national title bestowed upon a woman chosen to represent Guatemala at Miss Grand International.[1][2][3] The title was first mentioned in 2013 when the winner of Miss Guatemala Latina 2013, Melanie Michelle Cohn Bech, was appointed by Oscar Flores, who served as the director of such a national pageant as well as the franchise holder of Miss Grand International in Guatemala.[1] The license was transferred to another national pageant, Miss Guatemala, in 2017, and then to a queen maker, Alex Orellana, in 2019.[4]
Since the first participation at Miss Grand International in 2013, no Miss Grand national pageant has been held individually to determine the representatives; all were either appointed or selected through other national pageants.[2][3] The highest achievement of Guatemala at Miss Grand International is the second runner-up position, which was obtained by Ivana Batchelor in 2020.[5]
History
[edit]Guatemala has been participating in the Miss Grand International pageant since 2013.[1] However, all of its representatives were either appointed or determined via other national pageants; no Miss Grand National was held separately to determine the titleholders.[2][3][6] From 2013 to 2016, the license belonged to a capital-based national pageant chaired by Oscar Flores, Miss Guatemala Latina,[1][2][3] in which Miss Grand Guatemala was considered one of the supplemental titles at such a pageant.[2][3] In 2017, the license was then taken over by another national pageant, Miss Guatemala (Miss Universe Guatemala), and was then transferred to a queen maker, Alex Orellana, in 2019.[4] However, all representatives at such a period were appointed.[4][7][8]
Guatemala's representative obtained placements at the Miss Grand International pageant twice, including the top 20 finalists in 2019,[9] and the second runner-up and the Best National Costume award in 2020.[5]
