Miss Grand North Macedonia is a national female beauty pageant title awarded to Macedonian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013 when Sandra Stefanovska was assigned by Crnokrak Fashion Studio to represent the country at the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand.[1][2][5] The second titleholder was Dunavka Trifunovska who purchased the franchise and dominated herself to partake in the international tournament in 2015.[4][6]

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Macedonia sent its representatives to compete only in 2013 and 2015, one of them, Sandra Stefanovska, qualified for the final-20 round.[7]

History[edit]

Macedonia debuted in Miss Grand International in 2013 after the Skopje-based model agency, Crnokrak Fashion Studio (Macedonian: Модното студио Црнокрак), obtained the franchise and assigned their-affiliated model, Sandra Stefanovska, to compete internationally in Thailand,[1][2] where she was placed among the top 20 finalists.[7] Crnokrak Fashion Studio is managed by Miki Crnokrak (Macedonian: Мики Црнокрак).[8]

In 2015, the license was granted to a Skopje-based pharmacist and founder of a fashion agency named D+D Fashion Woman, Dunavka Trifunovska,[9] who then dominated herself as the country representative at the international competition held in Thailand in October of that year.[3][6] However, some media reported that Trifunovska was actually 34 years old, not 24, as specified in the documents registering with the organizer committee,[3][6][10] which violated the criteria of the pageant since women over the age of 28 were not allowed to enter the contest.[11] The Miss Grand International Organization has not made any official announcement, nor has it confirmed anything regarding the age controversy.[10]

Due to lacking franchise holders, the Macedonian representatives for Miss Grand International have not additionally been elected since 2016.
