Miss Grand Curaçao is a Curaçaoan beauty contest that chooses a representative for the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3] Silvienne Winklaar, the winner of the Miss Grand Curaçao 2014 pageant, was the first Curaçaoan to compete at Miss Grand International.[1] Since 2019, the right to send Curaçaoan representatives to compete at Miss Grand International belonged to the Miss Curaçao organizer, Curaçao Beauty Pageant Committee, which was led by Ayshel Maria.[4]

History
editIn partnership with Señorita Curaçao and food delivery company Curadise, HUGON Business Management & Entrepreneurial organized the first contest of the Miss Grand Curaçao pageant in 2014 in Willemstad.[8][9] The event was held at the World Trade Center Curaçao on April 30 with seven national finalists,[5][6] with nineteen-year-old, Silvienne Winklaar, the winner.[1] Winklaar then represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2014 in Thailand, making her the first Curaçaoan candidate at the contest, but was unplaced.[1][10] There was an attempt to organize the pageant in 2015, but it was canceled for undisclosed reasons.[11]
In 2019, Curaçao returned to the competition as the Curaçao Beauty Pageant Committee (CBPC), chaired by Ayshel Maria, purchased the license.[1] All Miss Grand Curaçao titleholders were handpicked by the committee, with most of them finalists of the CBPC-affiliated pageant, Miss Curaçao.[1][2]
