Since the first competition in 2013, Ugandan representatives have never been placed in Miss Grand International.[7][8][9][10]
Uganda occasionally takes part in Miss Grand International; it debuted in 2013 and was represented by an appointed representative, Pierra Akwero;[5] however, she was unplaced on the international stage held in Thailand.[7] The license was transferred to different licensees each year, and all representatives were directly hand-picked; no Miss Grand National was held to determine the titleholders.[1][2][3][11] Statistically, all Ugandan candidates competing at the Miss Grand International received non-placements.[7][8][9][10]
The following is a list of Ugandan representatives at the Miss Grand International contest.
