Miss Grand Venezuela 2025 was the third Miss Grand Venezuela pageant, ^{[1] [2] [3]} scheduled for 4 December 2025. ^[4] Thirty-eight contestants from different states and cities of Venezuela competed in the early stage to select the representative to Miss Grand International 2025, ^[5] and the number would be reduced to 24 for the final stage held later for the Miss Grand International 2026. ^[4]

In the presentation held on 30 August 2025 at the Wynwood Park, Valencia, ^{[6] [7]} a 30-year-old model and entrepreneur representing the state of Monagas, Nariman Battikha, was announced as the country representative to Miss Grand International 2025 pageant, to be held in Thailand on 18 October 2025. ^[8]

The pageant's early stage was telecast nationwide via Televen, ^[1] and was hosted by Adriana Marval, Adrián Lara, and Arnaldo Catanaima. ^[9]

Nariman Battikha of Monagas will crown her successor as Miss Grand Venezuela 2026 at the end of the event.

Background

Initially, Tina Batson, the winner of Miss Grand Venezuela 2024, was expected to compete internationally in 2025. ^{[10] [11] [12]} However, the licensee team, led by George Wittles, relinquished the license in late 2024, causing Batson to be affiliated with a new team led by Miss World 1995, Jacqueline Aguilera. ^[13] Financial issues forced Batson to resign the title in February 2025. ^{[14] [15]} After that, Aguilera planned to organize the 2025 contest by franchising the competition license to state-level organizers who would name their state representative for this year's edition, ^[2] while the replacement for Batson will be appointed. ^[16]

Selection of contestants

The contestants for this year's edition were elected through national casting ^[17] and state-level pageants held countrywide. ^{[2] [3]} Some states also conducted city-level contests to determine local candidates for the state pageant, such as Miss Grand Noroccidental for the Miss Grand Zulia state pageant. Some finalists might be assigned to represent other states that do not have the Miss Grand franchise. ^[2]

A national casting held on 5 August 2025 at the Televen Office attracted 63 aspirants, but only 37 qualified for the national final. Each of them was later assigned to represent one of the states or regions of the country on August 8. ^[5] However, after the delegate presentation and the selection of the country representative to Miss Grand International 2025 held on 30 August in Valencia, the number of finalized candidates will be reduced to 24. ^[4]
