Asunción has participated in the Miss Grand Paraguay pageant since 2018; however, its representatives were appointed in the early years of participation. Asunción candidate won the pageant once in 2018 by Clara Sosa,[4] who then competed internationally in Myanmar and was named Miss Grand International 2018.[5][6]
History
editAsunción has participated in the Miss Grand Paraguay pageant since the first national edition in 2018. Its first representative, Clara Sosa, was determined through the regional contest named Reina Asunción Universo, where the main winner was sent to compete at the Miss Universe Paraguay pageant.[7] Later in 2022, the right to send an Asunción candidate to compete nationally in Miss Grand Paraguay was granted to a local organizer named Javier Casco Producciones headed by Javier Casco and the first Miss Grand Asunción contest was held in that year.[3]
However, Javier Casco Producciones later renamed the pageant "Reinas de Asunción" the following year, when the city representatives for the Miss Grand Paraguay and Miss Supranational Paraguay national pageants were elected in the same event.[3]
