Miss Grand Curaçao is a Curaçaoan beauty contest that chooses a representative for the Miss Grand International pageant. Silvienne Winklaar, the winner of the Miss Grand Curaçao 2014 pageant, was the first Curaçaoan to compete at Miss Grand International. Since 2019, the right to send Curaçaoan representatives to compete at Miss Grand International belonged to the Miss Curaçao organizer, Curaçao Beauty Pageant Committee, which was led by Ayshel Maria.
Only one contest has been held; other titleholders were appointed by their respective licensees. The highest placement so far is the fifth runner-up, obtained by Akisha Albert in 2024. The other representative was also placed in the top 20, obtained by Kanisha Sluis in 2022.
History In partnership with Señorita Curaçao and food delivery company Curadise, HUGON Business Management & Entrepreneurial organized the first contest of the Miss Grand Curaçao pageant in 2014 in Willemstad. The event was held at the World Trade Center Curaçao on 30 April with seven national finalists, with nineteen-year-old, Silvienne Winklaar, the winner. Winklaar then represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2014 in Thailand, making her the first Curaçaoan candidate at the contest, but was unplaced. There was an attempt to organize the pageant in 2015, but it was canceled for undisclosed reasons.
In 2019, Curaçao returned to the competition as the Curaçao Beauty Pageant Committee (CBPC), chaired by Ayshel Maria, purchased the license. All Miss Grand Curaçao titleholders were handpicked by the committee, with most of them finalists of the CBPC-affiliated pageant, Miss Curaçao.
