Miss Grand Bangladesh is a national beauty pageant title that awarded to Bangladeshi representatives elected to compete at theMiss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013 when a Dhaka-based model, Farhana Azad Limi, was invited to compete in the inaugural edition ofMiss Grand International in Thailand; however, Limi did not enter the pageant for unknown reasons.[5] From 2021 to 2022, the license of Miss Grand Bangladesh was granted to a United States-based pageant organizer, Miss Bangladesh US Organization, managed byHiam Amani Hafizuddin.[3] It was then granted to aNew Delhi-based organizer namedGlamanand Group in 2024.
Reigning Miss Grand Bangladesh isJessia Islam who was crowned by outgoing titleholder Towhida Tusnim Tifa.
Initially, Bangladesh was expected to make its debut at theMiss Grand International pageant in 2013, 2014, and 2015, but all of the respective year's representatives did not enter the contest for undisclosed reasons.[5][6][7] In 2021, the right to send Bangladeshi for the 2021 and 2022 competitions was granted to a United States-based Bangladeshi pageant, Miss Bangladesh US Organization, managed byHiam Amani Hafizuddin.[3] However, the representatives were appointed instead of directly elected through such a national pageant.[1]
