Miss Grand United Kingdom is a female beauty pageant currently run by Daniela Costin in theUnited Kingdom, founded in 2015 by Holly Louise,^[1][2] The winner of the contest represents all four countries in United Kingdom in the international parent contest,Miss Grand International.^[3][4][5] As the founder Holly Louise was unable to send the elected delegates to compete in the2019 international contest inVenezuela, the competition license was transferred to Megan Darlington in 2020, and subsequently to Kathryn Fanshawe in mid-2022.^[6]

Since its first participation in 2013, the United Kingdom has not won theMiss Grand International pageant but has placed among the top 20 finalists five times: in 2014, 2016,^[7] 2020,^[8], 2022 and 2025; and also won the best evening gown and best national costume awards in 2016 and 2022, respectively.^[7]

The United Kingdom has been participating in the Miss Grand International since 2013. For the first two competitions in Thailand, its representatives were designated to join the contest, of which Georgia Smith – Miss Grand United Kingdom 2014, became the first UK delegate placed at the contest.

In 2015, after Holly Louise – the director of the UK Power Pageant, acquired the licenses for England, Scotland, and Wales, she subsequently held the first contest of Miss Grand United Kingdom atOxford Town Hall in the city ofOxford on 5 September. The contest consisted of 20 national finalists, in which Elizabeth Greenham, Taylor Stringfellow, and Danielle Latimer were announced Miss Grand England, Scotland, and Wales, respectively.^[9] During 2016–2019, Miss Grand UK winners were determined through the UK Power Pageant, which was also organized to select the country representatives forMiss International andMiss Intercontinental [es].^{[10][11][12][13]}

After Holly Louise was unable to send representatives for theMiss Grand International 2019 pageant in Venezuela due to safety concerns, she lost the franchise to Megan Darlington in 2020,^[14] who later conducted the pageant separately in 2021,^[15] and then lost the license to Kathryn Fanshawe the following year.^[16]

In 2017, Ashleigh Coyle, a 21-year-oldDerry-based model and the runner-up ofBig Brother UK Series 15, was elected Miss Grand Northern Ireland 2017; however, she did not participate in the international stage in Vietnam for unknown reasons.

In 2025, the national franchise was transferred to a new director, Daniela Costin, who took over the management of Miss Grand United Kingdom and the selection process for the country’s representatives.

The following list is the edition detail of the Miss Grand United Kingdom contest, since its inception in 2015.

In the first two editions, managed by Holly Louise in 2015 and Megan Darlington in 2021, each of the United Kingdom's non-sovereign country representatives was elected. After Kathryn Fanshawe obtained the license in 2022, only one winner was determined in the contest held in 2023.^[18]
