Miss Grand Ethiopia is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Ethiopian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International contest. [1] [2] [3] [4] From 2013 to 2018, the license belonged to the national contest of the Miss Ethiopia pageant, [4] but most of the country representatives were appointed instead of directly determined through such a national pageant. [3] [5] The contract between Miss Ethiopia and Miss Grand International was discontinued in 2019, and no other Ethiopian body renewed the license, resulting in no Ethiopian representatives on such an international stage since then.

Contents

Since the first participation in 2013, the highest and only placement in Miss Grand International of Ethiopian representatives was the first runner-up which was obtained in 2014 by the vice-Miss Ethiopia 2014, Hiwot Bekele. [6] Three months after winning the position, Hiwot was appointed to compete at the Miss Universe 2014, [7] but was unplaced. [8]

History

Ethiopia joined the Miss Grand International contest for the first time in 2013 after former Miss Universe Ethiopia, Helen Getachew, was assigned by the Miss Grand Ethiopia license holder who was also the Miss Ethiopia organizer, Ethiopian Village Adventure Playground (EVAP), to represent the country at Miss Grand International 2013 in Thailand, [9] but Getachew failed to make a cut into the top 20 round. [10] The following country's representatives were directly hand-picked by the licensees in that particular year, [3] [5] except for the 2018 candidate, Samrawit Azmeraw, who was selected through the Ethiopian Beauty Queens pageant as one of the supplemental positions. [2] [11]

Due to a lack of franchise holders, Ethiopia has not sent its representatives to compete on the Miss Grand International stage since 2019.
