Miss Grand Democratic Republic of the Congo (French: Miss Grand République Démocratique du Congo) is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Congolese representatives who were elected to partake in the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first mentioned in 2014 when a Manchester-based Congolese model, Naise Gumanda, was named the RDC representative for Miss Grand International 2014,[5] followed by a Belgium-residing Congolese, Caroline Kondé, in 2022.[1][4]
