Miss Grand Ukraine is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Ukrainian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3] The titleholders from 2013 to 2015 were all appointed by the different franchise holders; no respective national pageant was held.[4] Since 2016, the Miss Grand Ukraine titleholders have been elected through a national contest, Queen of Ukraine (Королева України), headquartered in Kyiv.[1][5][6]

Since first partaking in 2013, Ukrainian representatives secured placements in Miss Grand International five times in total,[7][8][9][10] the highest position is the final 10, which was reached in 2016 and 2017.[9][10]

History

Ukraine has always sent its representatives to compete at the Miss Grand International since 2013.[11] Nonetheless, its first three representatives were all appointed to the title; no respective national pageant was held. In 2016, the license was transferred to Diva Fashion Group, the Queen of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Королева Украины) pageant organizer chaired by Natalia Kovaleva;[1][5][6] the Ukrainian representatives have been selected through the mentioned national contest since then.[2][3][12][13]

In 2022, due to the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War, the national contest of the Queen of Ukraine, which was usually held in Kyiv, was temporarily moved to Wiesbaden, Germany, where the pageant was organized on a smaller scale and aimed to raise funds to support displaced Ukrainian people in Germany.[13][14] Since 2023, the titleholders were determined through virtual procedures instead of the actual pageant.[15]
