Wittles planned to conduct the first Miss Grand Venezuela contest in 2021 by distributing the regional license to state organizers to select their representatives for such a national contest, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pageant was instead postponed to July 2022 and then to August.

Selection of contestants
The national aspirants for the Miss Grand Venezuela 2022 pageant were chosen through the state pageants held by several local licensees, who in some cases are responsible for more than one state, such as the state pageant organized in Táchira, Miss Grand Los Andes; four state representatives were determined through such the contest, moreover, one of its finalists was later designated to represent the neighboring state due to a lacking of state licensee. However, some delegates, such as the representative of Lara, Nueva Esparta, Sucre, and Zulia, were appointed state or regional titles because of the absence of a state pageant in their area.
