Miss Grand Seychelles is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Seychelles representatives who were elected to compete at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2014 to a Sino-Seychellois model, Linda Cui,[5] followed by a diploma student from Mahé, Shaniah Dick, in 2023.[1][2][3]

Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Seychelles only participated once in 2023,[3][4][6] and the remaining representative withdrew.[7] The first contest of Miss Grand Seychelles is scheduled to be held in 2024.[1][2]

History[edit]

Initially, Seychelles was expected to make its debut in Miss Grand International in 2014 by the appointed representative, Linda Nan Cui,[5] but Linda did not enter the international contest in Thailand for undisclosed reasons.[7]

Later in 2023, the license of Miss Grand Seychelles was taken by a newly established pageant organizer, the Seychelles Pageantry Association,[1] with Gabriella Gonthier as the director and Jouel Boutique as the sponsor.[1][2] The audition to select the country representative for Miss Grand International 2023 was then arranged on August 5.[1] Four candidates qualified for the final round, and Shaniah Dick, a diploma student in social work from the National Institute of Health and Social Studies (NIHSS), was named the winner;[1][2][3] however, Shaniah received a non-placement after partaking in the international pageant in Vietnam.[8][9]

The Seychelles Pageantry Association also planned to organize a contest in 2024 to elect their representative for Miss Grand International 2024,[1][2] to be held in Myanmar on October 25.[10][11]
