History

edit

After Vicente Gonzalez acquired the license for Miss Grand Spain in 2015, he began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers, who would name the provincial representatives to compete in the national pageant the following year. In the province of Valencia, the license was granted to Miss y Mr. Ciudad de Valencia organization, which sent appointed candidates to compete from 2016 to 2018.[2][7] After two years of vacancy, another local organizer, Andreina Pérez,[8] purchased the license in 2020 and subsequently organized the first Miss Grand Valencia competition in February 2021, with 19 contestants from different municipalities participating.[5][9][10] Of whom Erika Pereira was named the winner.

Before 2021, Valencia joined the Miss Grand Spain pageant three times with appointed representatives in 2016, 2017, and 2018.[2][11]
