Miss Grand Myanmar 2026
On June 21, 2025, Jawkang Sophia Nawaug represented Namhkam, Shan State at Miss Grand Myanmar 2025, competed against 26 other candidates at the Shwe Htut Tin Complex in Tamwe, Yangon, Myanmar and won the title. On October 18, 2025, she represented the country at Miss Grand International 2025 and competed against 76 other candidates at the MGI Hall in Bangkok.
Emma Tiglao of the Philippines won the title and Sarunrat Puagpipat of Thailand was the first runner-up. Nawaug was unplaced.
Nawaug was supposed to crown her successor at the Eravati Sule Grand Hotel in Yangon on May 9, 2026 but the event was postponed. On May 4, 2026, the Miss Grand Myanmar 2026 national costume competition has held at the same venue where Lwin wore a nun costume, causing the organizer of the pageant to face legal action from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture of Myanmar.
On July 15, 2026, the organization explained how the new titleholder would be selected. The organization stated, “In alignment with the directives of relevant authorities, and in close accordance with the guidance and mentorship of the Miss Grand International (MGI) Head Office, the Miss Grand Myanmar Organization is committed to ensuring that Myanmar’s national representative will be eligible to compete on par with international delegates at this year’s Miss Grand International (MGI) pageant.”
“To prevent any lapse in participation, the National Winner will be systematically evaluated and selected by our responsible officials, industry experts, and the Board of Directors,” the organization continued. “To avoid any time delays due to the current circumstances, the Miss Grand Myanmar Organization will transition the remaining sub-contests for this year into an online competition format. The Official Result Date for the pageant will be announced separately in due course.”
On July 20, 2026, the final results were revealed through the social media accounts of the organization. The winner, her runners-up, the finalists and the semifinalists were:
