Miss Grand Cambodia

After the first participation at Miss Grand International by the appointed representative Tim Srey Niet in 2014, the Cambodian licensee subsequently ran its first competition in the following year. The contest was held at Nagaworld Hotel Grand Ballroom, which functioned as the final venue of the Miss Grand Cambodia pageant from 2015 – 2019,[7][13][14][15] featuring 24 national finalists directly chosen by the national organizer, of which, a 22 years-old third-year medical student Seng Polvithavy was announced the winner,[1][16] and the pageant was held annually since then.[7][13][14][15] BKA Entertainment lost the contest license to Mohahang Production in 2020,[4] after failing to send the 2019 titleholder, Det Sreyneat, to participate at Miss Grand International 2019 in Venezuela, as a result of insufficient time to prepare the documents for the visa application; the winner was crowned on late September, but the international pageant was launched on early October.[17] Such an incident also happened in 2016.[18]

Under the management of Mohahang Production, the pageant result was canceled in 2020, when the original winner, Seng Rotha, opted not to compete in the international pageant and renounced the title.[19][20] Furthermore, the first runner-up, Lim Sotheavy, also refused to take over the title due to the health conditions,[20][21] which causes the organizer to file a lawsuit against them for not fulfilling the agreement,[22] and subsequently appointed Chily Tevy, the second runner-up, to join the international pageant instead.[20]

In 2023, Sokunthea Im, owner of HK7 Co., Ltd, in collaboration with Sokpoly Voeun and Sarapich Som was legally licensed to host the Miss Grand Cambodia 2023, which was recognized and publicly announced by the international parent organ on January 2, 2023.[23] The contest was programmed to be directed by Sokunthea Im as a national director, Sokpoly Voeun as project director, Sarapich Som as vice president.[24] However, due to some finalcial conflicts, Sokpoly Voeun decided to leave the Miss Grand Cambodia 2023 project four months later.

Under the management of BKA Entertainment, the national aspirants for its first five editions were directly chosen by the central organizer based in Phnom Penh.[15] However, after the pageant license was transferred to another organizer, Mohahang Production, in 2020, an attempt to distribute to the provincial organs has been observed ever since.[25] Moreover, Cambodian overseas, such as Khmer Krom, Khmer Loeu, French-Cambodians, etc., have been allowed to participate in the contest with independent sash title since 2020,[25][26][27] nevertheless, most of the candidates were still directly selected and appointed the provincial titles by the national organizer due to a lacking of regional licensees.[28]
