Miss Grand Brazil 2023 was the 5th edition of the Miss Grand Brazil beauty pageant, originally programmed to be held on June 29, 2023, at Hotel Sibara Flat & Conventions in Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina, but was later rescheduled to June 10 and the venue was moved to Recanto Cataratas Thermas Resort, Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná.

Twenty-eight candidates, who were chosen through either the state pageants or national preliminary casting held directly by a central licensee, competed for the title,[1] of whom a 26-year-old dentist, nursing technician and medical student representing Zona da Mata Mineira, Adriana Yanca, was announced the winner, while the representatives of Pernambuco, Tocantins, Paraná, and Minas Gerais, were named runners-up.[2] Adriana was crowned by Miss Grand Brazil 2022, Isabella Menin of Alto Cafezal, and later represented Brazil at Miss Grand International 2023 held in Vietnam on October 25,[3] [4] [5] but was unplaced.[6]

The grand final round of the pageant was hosted by Juliano Crema and Gabrielle Vilela. Meanwhile, Lorena Rodrigues who was previously crowned as Miss Grand Brazil 2021, and Henrique Fontes, Miss Grand Brazil national director, served as backstage correspondents. The event was live transmitted to an audience worldwide through its international parent contest's Youtube channel, GrandTV.[7]

Selection of contestants

Overview

Twenty-eight contestants took part in the pageant. As per the data collected in the regional pageants section below, thirteen of whom were directly determined through state pageants; four were the winners of the Miss Grand regional pageants (A1), including the representatives of Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, and Zona da Mata Mineira; while the representative of Piauí obtained Miss Grand title as the main award in the Miss and Mister Model Piauí pageant (A2). The remaining seven candidates obtained the Miss Grand title as a supplemental title in the Miss Brazil CNB state pageant (B1), such as the representatives of Santa Catarina, São Paulo, and Goiás.

Of the appointed candidates, the representative of Cataratas do Iguaçu was appointed to the title after finishing as the vice-miss in the Miss Grand Paraná 2023 pageant (B2), while the other four candidates, including the representative of Ilha de São Luís, Pernambuco,[8] Plano Piloto, and Rio Grande do Sul, were appointed after obtaining the runner-up title at other state pageants (C1). The remaining eleven candidates, such as Paraíba's representative, were appointed to the position without participating in any state pageant in this particular year (C2).[9]

One contestant, Letícia Santana, the representative of Sergipe, resigned from the title for unknown reasons and no replacement was assigned. Meanwhile, the original representative of Ipiranga, Sandy Menezes. was replaced by Brooke Shields Assunção.

Four states and insular cities made their debut in this edition, including Acre, Cataratas do Iguaçu, Guanabara, Ilha de São Luís, and Ipiranga. Compared to the previous edition, Amazonas returned, while nine states and cities withdrew, making the finalized total of twenty-eight contestants.

In the grand final competition held on June 10, the results of the preliminary competition—which consisted of the swimsuit and evening gown competition as well as the closed-door interview and all other pre-pageant activities—determined the top 20 and top 10 semifinalists.[37] After the swimsuit and evening gown parade of the top 20 finalists, the final ten were announced.[37]

In the final ten rounds, each qualified candidate delivered a speech related to the pageant campaign, Stop War and Violence. The judges then scored each candidate based on their stage performances and the speech. Together with previous scores, five candidates with the highest accumulated scores qualified for the final question and answer round, in which all of the five candidates were asked the same questions, and the judges scored them based on their answers. The candidate with the highest accumulated score, Adriana Yanca of Zona da Mata Mineira, was announced as Miss Grand Brazil 2023.[37]

At all stages, the lowest score given by a juror was excluded to prevent biased scoring.[37]

The judges for the preliminary and grand final rounds include:
