Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago 2023 was the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago pageant.[1] The grand final of the contest, which was originally set for September 2,[1] was organized on September 10, 2023, at the Banquet and Conference Centre MovieTowne Mall, Port of Spain.[2][3][4]

Fifteen candidates, who qualified for the national round through an audition, will compete for the title,[1] of whom, a 29-year-old Venezuelan actress representing Diego Martin West, Mileidy Materano, was elected the winner,[4][5][6] while the representatives of St. Joseph and Caroni Central, Rebekah Hislop and Maria Enika Ramnath, were named the runners-up.[5] Materano was expected to represent the country at the Miss Grand International 2023 pageant in Vietnam on October 25, 2023.[1][2]

The election of Materano caused a lot of debate since she is not a Trinidad and Tobago-born national, but an immigrant from Venezuela in 2017 due to the Crisis in Venezuela.[5][7][8] Legal action was also pursued for some intimidation.[9][10] Due to such the mentioned circumstances, Mileidy resigned from the title a week before the international contest schedule, and the first runner-up, Rebekah Hislop, automatically took over the title.[11]

Background

After two consecutive years of sending Trinidad and Tobago representatives to compete at the male competition, Mister Grand International, the pageant organizer of Stolen Productions Ltd. (SPL Pageants) additionally purchased the female license of Miss Grand International for Trinidad and Tobago in 2023 and planned to organize the first competition of Miss Grand National pageant to elect the winner to compete in the 2023 international tournament in Vietnam.[1] The pageant was held parallelly with the male category, Mister Grand Trinidad and Tobago,[1][2][12] which was first organized in 2022.[2][12]

Before reaching the national grand final, the organizer held an audition to select the finalists on July 23 at Studio 28 located in the country capital, Port of Spain,[1][13][14][15] in which the top 15 finalists for each category were elected.[1][2] All candidates were later revealed in the Grand Reveal Ceremony held on August 6 at the Luna Restaurant West Mall, Port of Spain.[16][5]

The grand final round of the pageant was originally set for September 2, 2023, at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA), San Fernando,[1] but was later rescheduled to September 10 and the venue was moved to the Banquet and Conference Centre in MovieTowne Mall, Port of Spain.[2][3]
