Miss Grand Ecuador 2023 Grand Final Competition, on April 15, 2023, YouTube video |
Miss Grand Ecuador 2023 was the second edition of the Miss Grand Ecuador beauty pageant, held at TC Televisión Studios, Guayaquil.[1][2] It was originally proposed to be held in January but was postponed to April 15, 2023, for unspecified reasons.[3] Candidates from seven provinces of the country, who qualified for the national pageant via an audition performed virtually earlier in November 2022, competed for the title.[1]
The event was held by a Guayaquil-based pageant organizer headed by Tahiz and Miguel Panus, Concurso Nacional de Belleza Ecuador (CNB Ecuador).[3] The grand final round of the pageant was hosted by an Ecuadorian television presenter, radio host, and singer, Eduardo Andrade , and was live-transmitted to the audience worldwide via its international parent contest's YouTube channel, GrandTV, and was also attended by Miss Grand International 2017 from Peru, María José Lora .[1][2]
The winner of the contest, Véronique Michielsen, representing Ecuadorian communities in Europe, was crowned by Miss Grand Ecuador 2022, Lisseth Naranjo. However, Michielsen was later dethroned a few months before entering the international contest, thus, the first runner-up Andrea Ojeda assumed the title and competed at the Miss Grand International 2023 pageant as the replacement.[2][4][5]
