Background

History

Miss Grand Spain was held for the first time in 2016 after Vicente Gonzalez took over the franchise from the former owner, Marcel Arnalot Salazar, in 2015.[5] Few provincial pageants were held to select their representatives for the inaugural edition such as Miss Grand Sevilla, Miss Grand Huelva, and Miss Grand Ciudad Real.[9][10][11] However, the number of its preliminary contest was significantly increased to 24 in the 2021 edition.[12] In some provinces, for instance, Seville, Huelva, and Cádiz, local pageants are also held to determine delegates for the province competition,[13][14] in which winners hold the title "Miss Grand (Province)" for the year of their reign.[1] Some runners-up of the provincial pageants might be appointed to represent the neighboring provinces in case the directors of such provinces were lacking.[15][16]

The pageant was canceled for the first time in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, originally scheduled to be held at the Fair Pavilion in the city of Daimiel in Ciudad Real Province on 3 October, with 31 provincial representatives.[6][17][18] Nonetheless, all such candidates instead gained the right to participate in Las Palmas for the succeeding edition, Miss Grand Spain 2021.[19][20] The event also featured the presence of Dori Rodríguez from Navarre, the first openly transgender contestant to compete for the Miss Grand Spain title.[21]

Since 2018, the pageant, including its regional organs, has collaborated with many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to raise funds available and provide necessities for the needed people,[22][23][24][25] such as; the Pequeño Valiente Foundation, which is dedicated to providing the necessary support to children and families affected by childhood cancers,[26][27] as well as the Mechones Solidarios, the Málaga-based NGO that produce and donate natural hair wigs to chemotherapy-induced and universal alopecia patients.[23][24][25]
