Beauty pageant

Beauty pageant

A beauty pageant is a competition that has traditionally focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants. Pageants have now evolved to include inner beauty, with criteria covering judging of personality, intelligence, talent, character, and charitable involvement, through private interviews with judges and answers to public on-stage questions. The term beauty pageant refers originally to the Big Four international beauty pageants.

It is located in the centre of the country, enclosed by mountains and hills with Dajti rising to the east and a slight valley to the northwest overlooking the Adriatic Sea in the distance. Due to its location at the Plain of Tirana and the close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the city is particularly influenced by a Mediterranean seasonal climate. It is among the wettest and sunniest cities in Europe, with 2,544 hours of sun per year.

Albania

Albania, officially the Republic of Albania, is a country in Southeastern Europe. It is situated in the Balkans, and is located on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas within the Mediterranean Sea and shares land borders with Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo to the northeast, North Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south. The country displays varied climatic, geological, hydrological, and morphological conditions, in an area of 28,748 km2 (11,100 sq mi). The landscape ranges from the snow-capped mountains in the Albanian Alps and the Korab, Skanderbeg, Pindus, and Ceraunian Mountains, to the hot and sunny coasts of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas along the Mediterranean. Tirana is its capital and largest city, followed by Durrës, Vlorë, and Shkodër.

History

Albania participated in the Miss Grand International pageant for the first time in 2014, represented by Vivian Canaj, who won the Miss Grand Albania 2014 title after competing at the Miss Grand Albania & Kosovo 2014 pageant held by Sherif Pacolli, a chairperson of the Kosovan event organizer in Pristina, Lens Production.[1] The first edition of Albania's Miss Grand National was held on July 20, 2014, at the California Resort in Pristina; the event was broadcast live nationwide on a Kosovan satellite television channel, RTK Live,[4] and featured twenty national finalists, of whom a model from Tirana, Vivian Canaj, was elected the winner.[5][6]

From 2014 to 2018, the pageant was held in parallel with Miss Grand Kosovo as Miss Grand Albania & Kosovo, but after Aleks Tanushi of Aleks Fashion Events (A.F.E.) took over the Albanian franchise in 2018, the pageant has been held as a stand-alone pageant since then.[7][8][9]
