History

The state of Paraná has participated in the Miss Grand Brazil pageant since the first edition which was held in 2014. However, its first three representatives were appointed. The first Miss Grand Paraná was held in November 2021 after the state franchise was granted to a local organizer led by Edy Godoy. The contest, held on June 26 at the HZ Hotel in Patos de Minas, consisted of 18 finalists, of whom a model Gabriela Borges was elected the winner. Borges later participated in the national pageant held the following year and was named the first runner-up.

Later in late 2023, Edy Godoy organized the state pageant to select a representative for the 2024 national contest;[1] however, the 2024 state winner, Aline Biolchi, had to withdraw from the national event due to the change of national franchise holder,[4] [5] and the state license for Miss Grand Paraná 2024 was granted to another organizer.[3]
