Miss Grand Colombia is an annual female beauty pageantinColombia, founded in 2018 by Top 3 Latam chaired by Neyder Duarte.[1][2] Previously, the country representatives were selected by the International Portfolio Agency headed by Elías Tobón and Mara Borrego, either by handpicking or through their national pageant, Miss Earth Colombia. Currently, the franchise belongs to the Bogota-based modeling agency, Casa De Reinas SAS which owns and runs the Miss Grand Colombia beauty contest since 2022.[3]
Colombia holds a record of 5 placements at Miss Grand International, the highest position was the fourth runner-up obtained by Mónica Castaño in 2014.[4] The reigning Miss Grand Colombia is María Alejandra López who was crowned on 18 June 2023 at the Hotel Grand Park in Bogotá, She represented Colombia at Miss Grand International 2023inVietnam and placed 2nd Runner Up.[5] [6]
Colombia has been taking part in the Miss Grand International since 2013. However, most of its representatives were assigned to participate without organizing the national preliminary contest specifically. In 2018, the first edition of Miss Grand Colombia was conducted in VilletaofCundinamarca Department at the BH Tempo Hotel on 11 February after Miss Earth Colombia, who served as the national licensee during 2013 – 2017, had lost the franchise to Top 3 Latam – the Cundinamarca-based pageant organizer, headed by Neyder Duarte.[1] The contest featured 5 national finalists representing 5 national regions, including Altiplano, Andean, Llanos, Orinoquía, and Sinú,[1] of which Génesis Andrea Quintero Pérez from Orinoquía was announced the winner and expected to compete in Myanmar for the international title,[7][8][9] but unfortunately forced to resign by the organizer due to health problems after having breast augmentation as well as the financial conflict between them.[8][10] The organizer then relinquished the franchise to the Concurso Nacional de Belleza de Colombia (CNB Colombia; Miss Colombia), who appointed Sheyla Quizena Nieto to compete at the said platform instead.[11][12] Nevertheless, Quintero was later assigned to participate in the following international edition in Venezuela by the 2019 national licensee – Luis Humberto Garcés, as the replacement of the former representative, Sthefany Rodríguez, the Colombian-Venezuelan model who resigned the title two months after the appointment;[13] and was placed among the top 20 finalists.[14] Since then, the license had been being transferred to the different organizers every year, including Juan José Mendoza in 2020,[15] back to Miss Colombia in 2021,[16] and under the control of César Prado in 2022.[3]
The representatives of Colombia got placements at Miss Grand International five times in 2013, 2014, 2019, 2021, and 2023.[17][18][4][14][19] The highest one was the second runner-up, won by María Alejandra López in 2023.[20]
