Miss Grand Dominican Republic (Spanish: Miss Grand República Dominicana) is a female national beauty pageant in the Dominican Republic, founded in 2016 by a Dominican American business person, Chantel Martinez, with the aim of selecting a country representative to participate in its parent pageant, Miss Grand International.^[1]^[2] After Chantel Martinez ended the partnership with the Miss Grand International in 2019, the competition franchise was taken over by different local organizers, such as the Iconic Model Search Inc. of Joe Amhed (2022) and Misses of Dominican Republic-related personels (2019–2021, 2023).^[3]

Since the first participation in 2013, the Dominican Republic won the Miss Grand International competition once in 2015, through a Rhode Island–based model, Anea Garcia,^[4]^[5] but was later replaced by the first runner-up from Australia, Claire Parker, due to being unable to fulfill the agreement with the international organizer.^[6]

History

Since the first participation of the Dominican Republic in Miss Grand International in 2013, the national pageant that was specifically held for the said international stage happened only once in 2016, under the leadership of Chantel Martinez, the first runner-up Miss Grand International 2013, who served as the national director of Miss Grand Dominican Republic from 2014 to 2018. Contestants from 20 provinces and municipalities participated in the competition held on July 5 at the Cibao Grand Theatre [es] in Santiago de los Caballeros,^[1] in which Lucero Arias, a fashion model from Dajabón, was announced the winner,^[2] but she unfortunately got a non-placement after participating at Miss Grand International 2016 in Las Vegas, United States.^[7] Since no other edition of such a national contest has been additionally held, all the ensuing representatives were either appointed or gained the right from other contests; for instance, the winners or runners-up of the Misses of Dominican Republic pageant were designated as Miss Grand Dominican Republic in 2020 and 2021.^[8]

The Dominican Republic got the placements in Miss Grand International seven times, the best rank was the winner in 2015, won by a Dominican American from Rhode Island, Anea García [es],^[4]^[5] but was later dethroned in early 2016 and the first runner-up from Australia was promoted to take over the title.^[6]

The following list is the Dominican representatives that got placements in Miss Grand International:

2013: Chantel Martínez (First runner-up)^[9]^[10]
2015: Anea Garcia (Winner)^[5]^[6]
2018: Mayté Brito (Top 10)^[11]
2019: Stéphanie Bustamante (Top 20)^[12]
2020: Lady León (Top 20)^[13]
2021: Stephanie Medina (Top 20)^[14]
2022: Jearmanda Ramos (Top 20)^[15]
