The event will be the first Miss Grand Cambodia competition organized by a Phnom Penh-based cosmetic products manufacturer and retailer company, HK 7 Co., Ltd., after purchasing the license from the international firm, MGI PLC, in late 2022.[5][6]

Background

edit

After a cosmetic products company headed by Sokunthea Im, HK 7 Co., Ltd., took over the franchise of the Miss Grand Cambodia contest from Mohahang Production in late 2022, the press conference of the 2023 Miss Grand Cambodia competition was later arranged on February 1, 2023, at the AEON Mall Sen Sok City.[1][5][6] and the application for such was opened on February 17.[6] All submitted applicants were then screened by the pageant organizer to determine the final 25 national candidates.[3] Each qualified candidate was later assigned to represent one of the 25 country's provinces; the sashing ceremony was conducted on May 21.[7]
