Miss Grand Estonia is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Estonian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013, when a professional model from Novorossiysk, Evgeniia Forkash, was assigned to represent Estonia at the inaugural edition of the mentioned international contest in Thailand.[5]

Since the first partaking in 2013, the license of Miss Grand Estonia belonged to a sub-continental pageant based in Stockholm, Miss Queen of Scandinavia;[2][4] however, its partnership with Miss Grand International was terminated in 2020, and, hitherto, the Miss Grand Estonia license was not purchased by any other agency.

History[edit]

Estonia debuted in the Miss Grand International pageant in 2013, represented by a Russian-based model from Novorossiysk, Evgeniia Forkash,[5] who was assigned to participate by the Miss Queen of Scandinavia organization (MQOS),[2][4] a Stockholm-based pageant chaired by Peter Hadward,[6] but she was unplaced.[7] In the following years, the country representatives at such an international tournament were either determined through the Miss Queen of Scandinavia pageant or directly hand-picked by the director.[2][3][4]

Since the first competition in 2013, Estonian representatives have never been placed in Miss Grand International.[1][4][7][8]
