Miss Grand Lithuania is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Lithuania representatives chosen to compete at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2016 to a make-up artist from Vilnius, Aista Mačiulytė,[5] followed by a journalism student Irmina Preisegalaviciute in 2017.[3][4]
Lithuania partook in Miss Grand International three times; in 2016, 2017, and 2018, two of them received non-placements,[6][7] while the latest representative withdrew during the pageant camp for undisclosed reasons.[8]
History
From 2016 to 2017 the license of Miss Grand Lithuania belonged to the Miss Queen of Scandinavia pageant of Peter Hadwart. It was then taken over by a Romanian-based event organizer, Exclusive Event International, in 2018.[citation needed] After that, no Lithuanian candidates competed at Miss Grand International because the license was not renewed by any pageant-related organs.[9][10][11][12]
Since the first participation at Miss Grand International in 2016, no Miss Grand national pageant was specifically organized to determine the representatives; all Lithuanian candidates for Miss Grand International were directly hand-picked by the licensee in that particular year.[3][13]
