Miss Grand Chile


Miss Grand Chile is a national female beauty pageant in Chile that has been held annually since 2016, founded by Boris Cabrera of Latin Scouting y CBC Producciones, aiming to select country representatives to compete in its parent international contest, Miss Grand International. In 2019, the pageant license was consigned to Keno Manzur, and subsequently transferred to Cristian Chanaca and Gabriel Alfonsino in 2021.
Since the first participation in 2014, the only placement achieved by the Chilean representative at Miss Grand International is a top 20 finalist, reached by Francisca Lavandero in 2019.

History

joined Miss Grand International for the first time in the 2014 edition in Bangkok, represented by 21-year-old model Karla Bovet Quidel, then absent for two years consecutively. Later in 2017, Latin Scouting y CBC Producciones – headed by Boris Cabrera – the organizer of the Reinas de Chile, had obtained the franchise and consequently ran the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand Chile contest at the Music Palace Event Center in Talca on September 22. The contest featured nine national finalists representing Chillán, Chillán Viejo, Concepción, La [Florida, Chile|La Florida], Pucón, Puerto Montt, Quillota, Talca, and Valdivia, of whom Nicole Ebner from La Florida was named Miss Grand Chile 2017 and later participated at Miss Grand [International 2017] in Vietnam but got a non-placement. In addition to crowning such the winner, the Miss Supranational Chile 2017 title was also awarded to Konstanza Schmidt of Quillota. However, since the contest was not held in the following year, the licensee assigned María Flores, one of the 2017 finalists from Concepción, to participate at the international event in Myanmar instead.
The pageant was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused the organizer to appoint the candidate to take part in the 2020 international edition in Thailand instead. Later in 2021, Manzur relinquished the franchise to Cristian Chanaca and Gabriel Alfonsino, who have been organizing the contest annually since then.
