In the early years under the direction of MQOS, Swedish representatives for Miss Grand International were elected through the Miss World Sweden pageant;^[1] however, from 2018 to 2021, all representatives were instead handpicked.^[2][3][4]

History

Since the establishment of the Miss Grand International in 2013, Sweden has always sent its representatives to compete; the first Swedish candidate at the mentioned tournament was Claudia Sundberg,^[5] who was appointed to the title of Miss Grand Sweden after obtaining the fifth position at the Miss Universe Sweden 2013 pageant.^[6] Sundberg then represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2013 in Thailand, but she withdrew from the contest before its final round.^{[citation needed]}

Later in 2014, the titleholder was directly determined through the Miss Universe Sweden pageant;^[9] however, the license was instead transferred to another organizer, Miss Queen of Scandinavia, which also served as the licensee of the Miss World Sweden pageant.^[7] Since then one of the Miss World Sweden runners-up were assumed to be Miss Grand Sweden until the contract was terminated in 2022.^[1][2]

Since the first competition in 2013, the highest and only placement of Swedish representatives at Miss Grand International is the top 20 finalists, obtained in 2018 by Hanna-Louise Haag Tuvér.^[10]
