Miss Grand Brazil is an annual female beauty pageant in Brazil, founded in 2014 by a São Paulo-based event organizer Gerson Antonelli,[1][2] to select the country's representatives to compete in its parent international contest, Miss Grand International.
[11] Brazil holds a record of 10 placements at Miss Grand International, the highest position was the first place won by Isabella Menin in 2022,[12] followed by the second runner-up, obtained by Lorena Rodrigues of Minas Gerais in 2021,[13][14] and the fourth runner-up in 2019, 2020 and 2024, won by Marjorie Marcelle, Alaíse Guedes and Talita Hartmann, respectively.
[18][6] In the following year, the inaugural contest of the Miss Grand Brazil was held after a São Paulo-based event organizer Gerson Antonelli had purchased the license.
[22] The pageant was planned to be resurrected in 2017 at Hotel do Bosque Eco Resort in Angra dos Reis (RJ) on 5 May but the program, unfortunately, was rescheduled to 2019 for undisclosed reasons.
[25][11] After its first postponement in 2017, the pageant, originally planned to be held on 12 October, has been canceled once again in 2021, resulting from the widespread COVID-19 infection in Brazil,[11] which exceeds more than twenty thousand new positive cases per day in the second half of the year.
