**Miss Grand Malta** is a national [beauty pageant](/source/Beauty_pageant) title awarded to [Maltese](/source/Maltese_people) representatives chosen to compete at the [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) pageant.[1][2] The title was first awarded in 2014 to Dajana Laketic,[3] the winner of the Face of Malta 2014 pageant,[4] who was assigned by Alan J Darmanin's event organizer, Glow Promotions, to join the [Miss Grand International 2014](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2014) contest in [Thailand](/source/Thailand).[3] The other two following representatives were also appointed by the mentioned organizer but from different national pageants.

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Malta participated thrice; from 2014 to 2016,[3][1][2] but all of its representatives were unplaced.[5][6][7]

## History

Malta competed at the [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) for the first time in 2014; it was represented by the winner of the Face of Malta 2014 national pageant, Dajana Laketic,[3] followed by other appointed representatives, Sarah Mercieca and Christine Mifsud in 2015 and 2016, respectively.[1][2] However, all three representatives received non-placements at the international stages.[5][6][7]

From 2014 to 2016, the right to send Maltese candidates to partake in [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) belonged to a [Valletta](/source/Valletta)-based event organizer, Glow Promotions.[3][2][8] Since 2017, the license of Miss Grand Maltese has not been purchased by any other organizer, even though the title was awarded as one of the supplementary positions at the [Miss Malta](/source/Miss_Malta) pageant in 2021 and 2023. Still, the Miss Malta organizer, Kersten Borg, did not hold the Miss Grand license and the titleholders were not sent internationally.[9][10]
