Miss Grand Nepal (Nepali: मिस ग्र्यान्ड नेपाल) is an annual female beauty pageant in Nepal, that selects representatives to compete at Miss Grand International.[1][2]

In 2024, the Miss Grand Nepal titleholder will be determined through a newly established, Miss Vibhaa, organized by Uddhab Adhikari of Umanga Creation,[3] who owned the license since 2023.[4]

Since its first participation at Miss Grand International in 2013, to date, Nepali representatives have never won the contest. The reigning Miss Grand Nepal is Garima Ghimire of Kathmandu, who was appointed to the position by the Umanga Creations after she became 1st runner-up at Miss Universe Nepal 2023.[5] Currently it is organized under the name Miss Vibhaa by Umanga Creation.[6]

History

[edit]

The pageant was founded in 2016 by a Kathmandu-based businessperson Sazum Katwal of Looks Entertainment,[1]. Nepal's first three representatives were appointed to the position without taking part in any national pageant.[7] The first edition of Miss Grand Nepal happened after a Kathmandu-based event organizer Looks Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. (Mero Looks) had obtained the license in 2016,[7][8] the contest was held at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kathmandu on 23 August, where Zeenus Lama was named the winner.[1][9] Despite being unable to join the 2016 international pageant due to document issues,[10] Zeenus was instead appointed to compete internationally at the 2017 pageant in Vietnam.[11]

Under the management of RK Entertainment Group from 2017–2018, audition events were held across Nepal to find contestants for the pageant.[12][13][14] In 2019 the RK group lost its Miss Grand Nepal franchise to Bollywood Showdown Nepal Pvt. Ltd. of Izodom Nepal & Cosmo Group.[15][16][13][14][17][18] The contest was only held twice, in 2020 and 2022, in other years, representatives were appointed.[15][19][20] The Miss Grand Nepal Beauty Pageant is now under Umanga Creations led by Uddhab Adhikari.[21] The contest is now organized under a greater umbrella pageant called Miss Vibhaa by Umanga Creation which also selects delegate of Miss Cosmo Nepal.[3]

In 2019, RK Entertainment Group lost the license of Miss Grand International in Nepal to Bolly Club Group- Nepal. So Bolly Club Group- Nepal became the authority to send Miss Grand Nepal to Miss Grand International;[15][16] however, the former licensee still holds the Miss Grand national pageant annually to select country representatives for other international pageants such as Miss Grand World, Miss Landscape International, Face of Beauty International, Miss Aura International, etc.[13][17][18]
