Miss Grand Netherlands


Miss Grand Netherlands is a Dutch female national beauty pageant, founded in 2016 by an Amsterdam-based pageant organizer, Robin & Stefan Hoven – Lieuw Choy. The winner of the contest represented the country in its international parent contest, Miss Grand International.
Occasionally, the Miss Grand Netherlands titleholders were determined through other national pageants, such as Miss Supranational Netherlands in 2013–2014, and Miss 12 Months of Beauty in 2020 and 2022.
Since their debut in 2013, Netherlands' representatives have not won the Miss Grand International title but hold a record of 5 placements in such a title; the highest position is the fifth runner-up, obtained by Melissa Bottema in 2023.

History

The Netherlands has always been conducting the national contest to determine its representatives for the Miss Grand International pageant since 2013, except for 2015, 2019 and 2021, when the titleholders were assigned to the position. However, the contest was only held under the title of Miss Grand Netherlands in 2016, 2017, and 2023, the remaining representatives were determined through either the Miss Supranational Netherlands pageant or the Miss & Mr 12 Months of Beauty pageant.
The Miss Grand Netherlands beauty pageant comes under the franchise of 12 Months of Beauty, which is run by Robin and Stefan Hoven – Lieuw Choy, the national directors. Their first placement at Miss Grand International is top 20 finalists in 2013, won by Talisa Wolters who obtained the Miss Grand national title after participating in Miss Grand & Supranational Netherlands 2013 contest. The Netherlands representatives also got the same placement in 2015, 2017 and 2021.
