==History== [[File:StGeorges.jpg|thumb|200px|Bay '''St. George's''', [[Grenada]], the location of Jenny's Place, the headquarters in G.Ansedice, for Miss Grenada World.]] Miss Grenada was held for first time in 1964. The competition is run as a franchise and organized by a committee. The event organizers strive to increase the skill level and confidence of young Grenadian women. Christine Hughes was the first Miss Grenada 1964 and competed at [[Miss Universe 1964]].

==Miss World== [[Jennifer Hosten]] won the Miss World 1970 contest, representing Grenada. She became the first woman from her country to win the title. The whole contest had been controversial even before the result had been announced. Afterwards allegations were made about the influence of the Prime Minister of Grenada, who was on the judging panel.

===Miss Grenada World=== In 2007, Jennifer Hosten, Miss Grenada 1970, was granted the Miss Grenada World Franchise by the [[Miss World|Miss World Organization]]. The event took place at Jenny's Place, a resort on the beach in Grand Anse and was sponsored by the [[Ministry of Tourism]] of [[Grenada]] and cosmetics company, [[Revlon]].<ref name="2007gd">{{cite web|title=Miss World Grenada|url=http://www.grenadaconsulate.com/Press_Releases/PressReleases2007/January/MsWorld.htm|work=Press releases|publisher=Government of Grenada|access-date=17 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20080529000914/http://www.grenadaconsulate.com/Press_Releases/PressReleases2007/January/MsWorld.htm|archive-date=29 May 2008}}</ref>
