Miss Grand Peru is a national beauty pageant title bestowed upon a woman chosen to represent Peru at the annual international pageant, Miss Grand International. [1] [2] [3] The title was first mentioned in 2014 when a finalist of Miss World Peru 2014, Sophía Venero, was appointed to represent the country at the Miss Grand International 2014 in Thailand. [2] Since 2016, to date, the license of Miss Grand Peru has been belonging to the event organizer headed by Jessica Newton, Grupo D'Elite. [1] [2] [3] Previously, the license belonged to a medical doctor and lawyer, Hanssel Vega. [4]
Since its first participation in 2014, Peru won the Miss Grand International twice; in 2017 and 2023 by María José Lora and Luciana Fuster, respectively. [5] [6] Peru also won the Best National Costume awards in 2018, 2021 and 2022. [2] [7] [8]
In the first decades, the Peruvian representatives for the Miss Grand International contest were either hand-picked or determined through a sub-contest of another national pageant, Miss Perú, which was also managed by the same organizer, Grupo D'Elite. [2] [9] [10] Later in 2023, the event to select Miss Grand Peru titleholder was planned to be held individually for the first time; the event was scheduled to be happened in Lima, 12 national finalists were expected to participate. [1] [2] [3]
In 2020, the original country representative at the Miss Grand International 2020 pageant who obtained the title the Miss Perú 2019, Samantha Batallanos, was removed from the title by the national licensee; not well prepared for the international was claimed, [10] and a professional model named Maricielo Gamarra was then appointed as the replacement. [10] [11] However, Samantha was later appointed to participate in the next international edition the following year. [2] [10]
The Miss Grand Peru pageant was held as a stand-alone pageant only once in 2023.
