Before 2017, there was only one national beauty pageant,Miss Laos, that was held annually in Laos; however, its winners were not sent to compete on the international stage.[7] To promoteLaos pageant industry, the president ofMiss Grand International,Nawat Itsaragrisil, together withMiss Laos chairman, Hongkham Souvannavong, cooperatively ran the first edition of Miss Grand Laos in 2017 at ITECC Shopping Mall inVientiane, to select a country representative forMiss Grand International 2017,[1][2] in which, a 19-year-old girl from the capital city,Chinnaly Nolasing [lo] was named the winner.[8] In addition to Miss Grand Laos, Miss Laos Company also holds the license ofMiss Universe Laos andMiss International Laos [lo].[9]
