Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Kurdistan participated only twice: in 2014 and 2015; however, its 2015 representative withdrew before completing the tournament, [6] [7] [8] while the remaining was unplaced. [2] [9]

History

Kurdistan debuted in Miss Grand International in 2014 after a finalist in a newly established pageant, Miss Kurdistan, Dalia Rebwar, was assigned to compete internationally in Thailand. [2] [10] Even though Dalia got a non-placement in such a contest, she renewed the license the following year and subsequently assigned a Dubai-based model, Leyli Chupani, as her successor. [1] [2]

During the 2015 international pageant's boot camp in Thailand, Leyli withdrew before reaching the grand final stage and accused the international organizer of not providing enough food as well as bedtime for the contestants, which caused her health to become unstable and led her to withdraw. [6] [11] [12] However, the organizer declared that after the examination in the hospital, the doctor concluded Leyli did not have any instability but she insisted on declaring that she was unwell and desired to retire from the competition. [7] [11] [12]
