Miss Grand Denmark is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Danish representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013, when the director of Miss Queen of Scandinavia (MQOS), Peter Hadward, assigned the finalist of Danmarks Næste Topmodel Season 2, Natasja Smith, to represent Denmark at the inaugural edition of the mentioned international contest in Thailand;[5] however, Smith withdrew before reaching the final round of the contest, health issues were claimed.[citation needed]

The license of Miss Grand Denmark belonged to the MQOS from 2013 to 2017, then was transferred to another national pageant, Miss Denmark, in which Lisa Lents served as the director.[6]

History

[edit]

Denmark debuted in the Miss Grand International pageant in 2013, represented by an appointed candidate, Natasja Smith;[5] however, she withdrew before entering the final stage of the pageant due to health problems.[citation needed] The following Danish representatives from 2015 to 2017 were determined through a national pageant chaired by Peter Hadward, named Miss Queen of Scandinavia Denmark (MQOS Denmark), where the Miss Grand Denmark title was considered the supplementary award.[1] Nevertheless, all such representatives were unplaced on the international stage.[7][8][9]

In 2018, the MQOS Denmark lost the Miss Grand franchise to another national pageant chaired by Lisa Lents, Miss Denmark.[6] Under the direction of Lisa Lents, Danish representatives for Miss Grand International were appointed, not directly determined through the pageant she managed.[3][4][6]

The highest and only placement obtained by Danish representatives is the top 20 finalists, achieved by Victoria Kjær Theilvig in 2022.[10]
