History

has been participating in the Miss Grand International pageant since 2013. However, all of its representatives were either appointed or determined via other national pageants; no Miss Grand National was held separately to determine the titleholders. From 2013 to 2016, the license belonged to a capital-based national pageant chaired by Oscar Flores, Miss Guatemala Latima, in which Miss Grand Guatemala was considered one of the supplementary titles at such a pageant. In 2017, the license was then taken over by another national pageant,

(Miss Universe Guatemala), and was then transferred to a queen maker, Alex Orellana, in 2019. However, all representatives at such a period were appointed. Guatemala's representative obtained placements at the Miss Grand International pageant twice, including the top 20 finalists in 2019, and the second runner-up in 2020, when the Best National Costume award was also won. ;Gallery Ivana Batchelor 2022.jpg, File:María José Sazo Meléndez.png, File:Andrea Radford.png, File:Raschel Paz.png,
