# Miss Grand Cambodia 2024

Miss Grand Cambodia 2024 was the 10th edition of the Miss Grand Cambodia pageant, held in Koh Pich Theater in Phnom Penh on 12 July 2024. Contestants from 25 provinces and autonomous municipality of Cambodia competed for the title. At the end of the event, Phoem Sreynor of Phnom Penh crowned Sotheary Bee of Kampong Chhnang as her successor. Sotheary Bee was originally expected to represent the country at the international parent stage, Miss Grand International 2024, in Thailand on October 25, 2024, but withdrew due to conflicts between the 2024 Miss Grand Cambodia organizer, HK7 Co., Ltd., and the international organization.
This edition was the first Miss Grand Cambodia pageant where the right to send contestants was granted to local organizers, who organized the provincial pageants to elect the representatives.
