Miss Grand Egypt is a nationalbeauty pageant title awarded toEgyptian representatives competing at theMiss Grand International contest.[1][2][3] The title was first awarded in 2013 when aCairo-basedpharmacist, 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 ofMiss 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 joinedMiss 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 ofMiss 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 theMiss Egypt 2021 winners was expected to compete atMiss Grand International 2022 inIndonesia,[12] but no representative was elected,[13] due to the termination of the partnership betweenMiss Grand International (MGI PLC) and Miss Egypt after theMiss Grand Thailand-affiliated representative, Juthamas Mekseree, who was assigned to compete at the Egypt-basedMiss Eco International 2021 which was also managed by Amal Rezk, together with other 8 country representatives were infected byCOVID-19 during pageant activities and were left without proper management.[14][15]
