Miss Grand Cuba 2023 was the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand Cuba pageant, held on 20 August 2023,[1][2] at the Tampa Marriott Westshore, Tampa, Florida, United States.[3][4] Five candidates, who qualified for the national final round through an audition held in mid-2023, competed for the title,[5][6] of whom a 26-year-old Portuguese-Cuban model and assistant project manager from Miami-Dade County, Sofia Acosta, was announced the winner,[1][2][7][8] while a Cuban national coordinator for the UN Ocean Decade ECOP program, Sheyla Ravelo, won the supplementary title of Miss International Cuba 2023.[9]
Sofia later represented the country at the international parent stage, Miss Grand International 2023, held in Vietnam on 25 October,[1][7] while Sheyla traveled to Japan to compete at Miss International 2023, held on 26 October.[10] However, both of them were unplaced at the mentioned international stages.[11]
