==History== 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 [[Balearic Islands]], the license was granted to a [[Mallorca]]-based designer and event organizer, Hugo Micaelo, who organized the first Miss Grand Balearic Islands in 2019,<ref name=casting2019/> and Sorina Dolghieru was named the first Miss Grand Balearic Islands electing via the regional pageant.
The pageant was halted for two consecutive years from 2021 to 2022 due to lacking licensees. It was revived in 2023 after former Miss La Rioja 2005, Marian Valdemoros, and Lucía Fernández, obtained the license.<ref name=licensee23>{{cite web|url=https://www.diariodemallorca.es/sociedad/2023/01/03/catorce-jovenes-aspiran-miss-grand-80641979.html|title=Catorce jóvenes aspiran a ser Miss Grand Islas Baleares|date=3 January 2023|accessdate=14 April 2024|language=es|archivedate=7 January 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20230107110239/https://www.diariodemallorca.es/sociedad/2023/01/03/catorce-jovenes-aspiran-miss-grand-80641979.html|work=[[Diario de Mallorca]]}}</ref>
