Miss Grand Guadeloupe is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Guadeloupe representatives who competed at the national event,Miss Grand France, or an international stage ofMiss Grand International.[1][2][3] The title was first awarded in 2013 to a 22-year-old fromLe Moule, Orphelie Morti, who then competed in the international event in Thailand.[1][2] In 2013 and from 2017 to 2019, the right to send Guadeloupe representatives to Miss Grand International belonged to the national pageant ofMiss International Guadeloupe, headed by Georges Nandan.[1][3][4][5]
Guadeloupe joined theMiss Grand International pageant four times, but all of its representatives were unplaced.[6][7][8][9]
Guadeloupe made its debut inMiss Grand International in 2013 when Orphelie Morti was appointed by Georges Nandan, the director ofMiss International Guadeloupe pageant, to compete in theMiss Grand International 2014 pageant in Thailand, and then no Guadeloupe candidates in the pageant from 2014 to 2016.[1][2]
After three consecutive years of absence, Guadeloupe competed inMiss Grand International again in 2017, after the organizer of theMiss International Guadeloupe pageant obtained the license and the title of Miss Grand Guadeloupe was considered one of the supplemental titles in that year's pageant, in which it was delivered to Krystel Landry, who then competed atMiss Grand International 2017 in Vietnam,[10][11] but was unplaced.[7] The contract between the mentioned national organizer andMGI PCL was discontinued at the end of 2019.[5] Since then, as of 2023, no Guadeloupe candidate has competed at the Miss Grand International, despite the title of Miss Grand Guadeloupe being awarded annually; the titleholders were not sent to compete internationally.[12][13]
From 2013 and 2017 to 2019, the runners-up ofMiss International Guadeloupe were sent to compete internationally inMiss Grand International. Later in 2024, Guadeloupe sent its representative to participate inMiss Grand France,[14] as detailed below.
