Miss Grand Kazakhstan is a female beauty pageant title awarded to Kazakh representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant. [1] [2] [3] The title was first mentioned in 2013 when an Almaty-based model, Yuliya Kolesnik, was assigned by Idol Fashion Management LLC to represent Kazakhstan at the first edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand; [1] however, she was unplaced. [4]

Contents

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International in 2013, Kazakhstan has occasionally sent candidates to compete. [1] Its representatives were sent by different licenses each year, and most of them received non-placements at the grand final stage, [4] [5] except for the 2018 candidate, Aim Isengalieva, who was named one of the final 20. [1] [2]

History

From 2013 to 2014, the license for Miss Grand Kazakhstan belonged to Idol Fashion Management LLC, [6] a Bishkek-based event organizer company headed by a Kyrgyz businessperson, Usen Berdibaev (Kyrgyz : Бердибаев Асан). [7] The Kazakh representatives for these two editions were directly appointed by the mentioned licensee. [1] In 2015, an attempt to organize the first contest of Miss Grand Kazakhstan was observed, but the project was later canceled for undisclosed reasons, [8] resulting in no Kazakh candidate in Miss Grand International 2015. [9]

In 2018, after the franchise of Miss Grand Kazakhstan was vacant from 2015 to 2017, it was then purchased by Volga Models, a Russia-based model agency and the organizer of Miss Tourism Russia chaired by Vladimir Ilyin, [10] who assigned one of the Miss Tourism Russia 2016 finalists, who is an ethnic Kazakh from Astrakhan, Aim Isengalieva, [11] as Miss Grand Kazakhstan 2018. [12] She then competed internationally in Myanmar, where she was placed among the top 20 finalists, [1] [2] making her the first and only Kazakh candidate, as of 2023, to be placed at Miss Grand International.
