Miss Grand Netherlands is a Dutch female national beauty pageant,[1] founded in 2016 by an Amsterdam-based pageant organizer, Robin & Stefan Hoven – Lieuw Choy.[2][3][4][5] The winner of the contest represented the country in its international parent contest, Miss Grand International.[1][6][7]

Occasionally, the Miss Grand Netherlands titleholders were determined through other national pageants, such as Miss Supranational Netherlands in 2013–2014,[8][9] and Miss 12 Months of Beauty in 2020 and 2022.[10][11]

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.[12]

History

[edit]

The Netherlands has always been conducting the national contest to determine its representatives for the Miss Grand International pageant since 2013,[8][13] except for 2015, 2019 and 2021, when the titleholders were assigned to the position.[14] However, the contest was only held under the title of Miss Grand Netherlands in 2016, 2017, and 2023,[1][15] the remaining representatives were determined through either the Miss Supranational Netherlands pageant or the Miss & Mr 12 Months of Beauty pageant.[1][8]

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.[2][3][4][5] 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.[8] The Netherlands representatives also got the same placement in 2015, 2017 and 2021.[16][17]
