Miss Grand Sarawak is a Malaysian state-level beauty pageant which selects representatives from Sarawak for the Miss Grand Malaysia national competition, founded in 2017 by a group of event organizer based in Kuching called Borneo Pageantry.
Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Malaysia pageant, Sarawak's representative has won the national title once in 2025 by Viviana Lin Winston.
History In 2017, following the acquisition of the national license for Miss Grand Malaysia by Jude Benjamin Lisa, a franchising model was introduced for the administration of state-level competitions. Under this framework, individual organizers were granted state franchises and entrusted with the responsibility of selecting representatives to compete at the national pageant.
Within this structure, the Sarawak franchise was awarded to Borneo Pageantry, which organized the inaugural edition of Miss Grand Sarawak in Kuching. At this first state competition, Fiollaa Redup, a 24-year-old Bidayuh from Kuching, was crowned the titleholder. She subsequently advanced to the national stage, competing in the Miss Grand Malaysia 2017 pageant held in Selangor, where she was named second runner-up.
Subsequently, in 2018, the Sarawak state license was transferred to Bachelor of Malaysia/Sarawak Paperbeads. Under this new administration, the authority to nominate candidates for the state pageant was delegated to division-level organizers, resulting in the organization of twelve division-level competitions across Sarawak.
The aforementioned administrative arrangement remained in place until 2022, when the state pageant ceased operations following the transfer of the national Miss Grand Malaysia license to Sean Wong of HyperLive Entertainment Pte. Ltd. The Sarawak franchise was not reassigned thereafter and remained undistributed until 2026, when it was granted to Aldrin Grame.
