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] The contest is organized as Miss Vibhaa by Umanga Creations,[3] that owned the license since 2023.[4] 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]
History
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.[6] 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,[6][7] the contest was held at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kathmandu on 23 August, where Zeenus Lama was named the winner.[1][8] Despite being unable to join the 2016 international pageant due to document issues,[9] Zeenus was instead appointed to compete internationally at the 2017 pageant in Vietnam.[10]
Under the management of RK Entertainment Group from 2017–2018, audition events were held across Nepal to find contestants for the pageant.[11][12][13] In 2019 the RK group lost its Miss Grand Nepal franchise to Bollywood Showdown Nepal Pvt. Ltd. of Izodom Nepal & Cosmo Group.[14][15][12][13][16][17] The contest was only held twice, in 2020 and 2022, in other years, representatives were appointed.[14][18][19]
The Miss Grand Nepal Beauty Pageant is now under Umanga Creations led by Uddhab Adhikari.[20] 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]
