When Beauties of South Sudan was created, they acquired the franchise for Miss Earth. As part of their promotion, they invited Tereza Fajksova, the Miss Earth 2012 winner, and she has become the first beauty queen to ever set foot in the land of South Sudan in 2013. She went to South Sudan for various environmental activities as well as to crown the very first Miss Earth South Sudan from Beauties of South Sudan franchise, which was won by Gloria Karsis.

The Beauties of South Sudan winner would automatically represent her country at the Miss Earth pageant. However, in 2015, the franchise was lost from Beauties of South Sudan for failing to send a representative in 2014.
