Background History After finishing the 2021 national competition session in Rome, the pageant organizer – MUPI SRL. – subsequently franchising the 2022 license to each regional licensee; the first local pageant to select the candidates for the regional contest was happening in early December in Abruzzo, followed by several local pageants held in each region countrywide. The venue of the final national competition, Grand Hotel Pianetamaratea of Maratea, was later announced in May 2022.
Participants selection The national finalists of Miss Grand Italy 2022 were chosen by the regional organizers, entitled by the central organ MUPI SRL to select their representatives, through the regional pageants. Several regional organs held multiple audition events or local contests to determine the finalists for their regional pageant, e.g., 5 local pageants and 1 audition were held in the Emilia-Romagna region. Similar to the national pageant, the regional contest of Miss Grand Italy is also divided into two categories including (1) the Main category for contestants aged between 17 – 28 years old, the winner of which will compete for the Miss Grand Italy title at the national stage, and (2) a mascot category for the contestants aged between 13 – 16 years old, the winner will also enter the same national stage with the senior category but the national winner will not be sent to compete in any international pageant.
Only one delegate, Alessia Stissi of Sicily, was directly elected by the national organizer through online voting from 1 February to 31 August on the official website. For such a process, each regional representative, who registered via online registration, was allocated into a group of 15 – 18, 12 groups in total. The winner of each group was determined through public voting on the organizer's website, the contestant with the most vote in each group qualified for the final voting round to select a final winner to compete in the national final stage.
