From 2013 to 2019, the license of Miss Grand Romania belonged to an event organizer, Exclusive Events International,[1][3][7][8] headed by Ernest Hadrian Böhm,[3][8][9] who later became the Miss Romania organizer in 2016.[10]
Since their first competition in 2013, the Romanian representatives have never secured any placements on the international stage of Miss Grand International.[11][12][13][14][15]
History
In the first decade of Miss Grand International, Romania has always sent its representatives to compete, the license of which belonged to a Bucharest-based event organizer, Exclusive Events International, which is directed by Ernest Hadrian Böhm;[3][8][9] all of the representatives during such a period were directly hand-picked, no Miss Grand national contest was held.[1][3][9][16]
Nonetheless, two years after Böhm granted the Miss Universe Romania license, his partnership with the Miss Grand International organizer, MGI PLC, was discontinued, and no other Romanian organs renewed the franchise, resulting in no Romanian representative in the Miss Grand International from 2020 to 2022.
Romania was expected to return in the 2023 competition in Vietnam.
