Since first participation in 2014, the only one placement of Chile representative at Miss Grand International is top 20 finalists, obtained by "Francisca Lavandero" in 2019. [3] The reigning Miss Grand Chile is "Vanessa Echeverría" of San Pedro de Atacama, who was crowned at the national contest held at Criss Chacana Model Agency in Iquique on 25 September 2021 and later represented the country at Miss Grand International 2021, [2] but got non-placement. [4]

History

Chile joined Miss Grand International for the first time in the 2014 edition in Bangkok, represented by 21-year-old model Karla Bovet Quidel, then absent for two years consecutively. [5] [6] Later in 2017, Latin Scouting y CBC Producciones – headed by Boris Cabrera – the organizer of the Reinas de Chile, had obtained the franchise and consequently ran the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand Chile contest at the Music Palace Event Center in Talca on September 22. [1] The contest featured nine national finalists representing Chillán, Chillán Viejo, Concepción, La Florida, Pucón, Puerto Montt, Quillota, Talca, and Valdivia, of whom Nicole Ebner from La Florida was named Miss Grand Chile 2017 and later participated at Miss Grand International 2017 in Vietnam but got a non-placement. [1] [7] In addition to crowning such the winner, the Miss Supranational Chile 2017 title was also awarded to Konstanza Schmidt of Quillota. [1] However, since the contest was not held in the following year, the licensee assigned María Flores, one of the 2017 finalists from Concepción, to participate at the international event in Myanmar instead. [8] [9]

The pageant was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused the organizer to appoint the candidate to take part in the 2020 international edition in Thailand instead. [10] [11] Later in 2021, Manzur relinquished the franchise to Cristian Chanaca and Gabriel Alfonsino, who have been organizing the contest annually since then. [2]
