Miss Grand Bangladesh is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Bangladeshi representatives elected to compete at the Miss Grand International contest.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013 when a Dhaka-based model, Farhana Azad, was invited to compete in the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand; however, Azad did not enter the pageant for unknown reasons.[5] From 2021 to 2022, the license of Miss Grand Bangladesh was granted to a United States-based pageant organizer, Miss Bangladesh USA, managed by Hiam Amani Hafizuddin.[3]
Since the inception of Miss Grand International, Bangladesh only participated twice; in 2021 and 2022,[2][6] but both representatives were unplaced.[7][8]
History[edit]
Initially, Bangladesh was expected to make its debut at the Miss Grand International pageant in 2013, 2014, and 2015, but all of the respective year's representatives did not enter the contest for undisclosed reasons.[5][9][10] In 2021, the right to send BangladeshI for the 2021 and 2022 competitions was granted to a United States-based Bangladeshi pageant, Miss Bangladesh USA, managed by Hiam Amani Hafizuddin.[3] However, the representatives were appointed instead of directly elected through such a national pageant.[1] The contract between such a national organ and Miss Grand International PCL was discontinued in 2023.
Towhida Tusnim Tifa was the last Bangladesh candidate to compete in Miss Grand International.[1][11]
