The license of Miss Grand Hong Kong was transferred to the Guangzhou Zhoumeng Marketing Co., Ltd., Xin Fu Lai Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., Sasha Waseem, and Hong Kong International Pageant in 2016, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively.

Since its first participation in 2014, Hong Kong representatives have not yet obtained any placement in the Miss Grand International pageant; however, in 2021, its representative, Sen Yang, was voted into the final 20 in the swimsuit competition, which was one of the main sub-events of the contest.

History

Hong Kong joined Miss Grand International for the first time in 2014, and was represented by a Brisbane-based Hong Kong Australian model, Joane Mo (Mo Yin Shu 摹印述), who was appointed by Macau Pageant Alliance, which served as the licensee organ for both Miss Grand Hong Kong and Miss Grand Macau from 2014 to 2015. In 2016, the Hong Kong license was taken over by The Miss China (Chinese: 中国版图小姐) organizer from Guangzhou, Guangzhou Zhoumeng Marketing, Co., Ltd., which was also the franchise holder of Miss Grand China from 2013 to 2018.[4] Under the management of Macau Pageant Alliance and Guangzhou Zhoumeng Marketing, all Hong Kong representatives at Miss Grand International were appointed.

After an absence in 2019 and 2020, the license was purchased by Xin Fu Lai Enterprise Management in 2021. An attempt to organize the first Miss Grand National contest was made this particular year; the press conference of the contest was held in Zhanjiang on March 13, 2021, and the grand final competition was scheduled for October 4, also in Zhanjiang,[5] [6] but the plan was entirely canceled due to the impact of China government travel restrictions during the COIVD-19 pandemic, and the representative was instead appointed. The licensee also relinquished the franchise to a Television personality, Sasha Waseem, the following year.

Later in 2023, the license was transferred to the Hong Kong International Pageant (Chinese: 香港國際選美), a newly established organization chaired by former Miss Grand Hong Kong, (陳美濤).[7] [8] The representative for this particular year was elected through the audition process.[8] [9] In addition to Miss Grand International, the new organization also holds the Hong Kong franchise of another international pageant, Miss Supranational.[7]
