Miss Grand United States Virgin Islands 2024 was the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand United States Virgin Islands pageant, held on March 25, 2024,[1][2] at the CUZ Miami Venue, Doral, Florida, United States.[3] Eight candidates from different cities and sub-districts competed for the title,[1] of whom a 24-year-old model and former 1st runner-up Miss Grand United States 2023 representing Coral Bay, Samantha Keaton, was elected the winner, while the representatives of Christiansted and Reef Bay were named the runners-up.[1][2][4]
Keaton will represent the United States Virgin Islands in the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant, to be held in Myanmar on October 25, 2024.[1][2][4]
The event was managed by Brian Javier of BJ Apparel, who has been the licensee of Miss Grand United States Virgin Islands since 2023.[5]
Background[edit]
After acquiring the license and appointing the representatives to compete internationally in 2023, the Miss Grand US Virgin Islands director, Brian Javier, announced in late 2023 that the first edition of the national contest would be held in early 2024 to select the territory representative for the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant in Myanmar. An application for such a national contest was virtually opened in November 2023, and the final 10 qualified finalists were later unveiled on January 15, 2024, with the grand final competition scheduled for March 25.[1][2]
