Miss Grand Nepal 2016 was the first edition of the Miss Grand Nepal beauty pageant,[1][2] held on August 23, 2016, at the Hyatt Regency HotelinKathmandu,[2][3][4] organized by Mero Looks and Revolution Pvt. Ltd.[3][5][6] Ten national aspirants competed for the title,[2][7][8] of whom a 24-year-old Mass communication student from Kathmandu, Zeenus Lama, was named the winner,[3][8][9] and received रु50,000 Rupee cash as the prize while the first and second runners-up, Pooja Shrestha of Lalitpur and Jyotsana Maharjan of Bharatpur, obtained रु25,000 and रु10,000 Rupee, respectively.[7] The event was attended by Claire Elizabeth Parker [id], Miss Grand International 2015,[3][9][10] and the Ambassador of Thailand to Nepal, Vutti Vuttisant.[1]
Zeenus Lama was supposed to represent Nepal at the international contest, Miss Grand International 2016, on October 25 in Las Vegas, Nevada,[3][8][9] but was not able to compete due to difficulties in obtaining a US visa [11] However, she was later invited by the Miss Grand International organizer, Miss Grand International, to represent Nepal in the Miss Grand International 2017 pageant in Vietnam[11]
On January 5, 2016, a press conference was organized at Trisara restaurant in Kathmandu, wherein the organizers, Mero Looks, shared the details related to the Miss Grand Nepal 2016 contest.[6] The team for Miss Grand Nepal includes Asmita Sitoula—the choreographer; Shivangi Lama—the designer; Akanshya Gurung— the makeup artist; and Milan Lama—the photographer.[6]
Auditions were conducted in different cities—Kathmandu, Bharatpur, Butwal, Pokhara, and Itahari—to select the contestants,[4][6] while an online application was officially opened from January 29 to February 5.[5] Of all applicants, only 10 candidates qualified for the national contest in Kathmandu.[4][7][8]
