Miss Grand Indonesia was an Indonesian female beauty pageant, held annually from 2018 to 2020.[1][2][3][4] The winners of the contest represented Indonesia at its parent international stage, Miss Grand International,[1][3] in which an Indonesian delegate, Ariska Putri Pertiwi, won the title in 2016.[5][6] Before the establishment of the Miss Grand Indonesia pageant, the Indonesian representatives for the aforementioned international stage were all appointed.[5][7][8]
The pageant was discontinued in 2021 when the country representative was instead handpicked,[9] and since 2023, Miss Grand Indonesia titleholders have been determined through a newly established Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia.[10]
In addition to winning the main title in 2016, Indonesian delegates also qualified for the top 5 in the Miss Grand International pageant in 2018, 2020, and 2022,[11][12][13] as well as obtaining the Best National Costume Award in 2016 and 2017.[5][6]
In the first edition of the Miss Grand International pageant, the right to send an Indonesian candidate was granted to Puteri Indonesia, and the 3rd runner-up Puteri Indonesia 2013, Novia Indriani Mamuaja, was appointed as the first Miss Grand Indonesia titleholder.[7] The country representatives for the four following international editions were also appointed: by El John Pageants from 2014 to 2015,[14][15][16] and back to Puteri Indonesia from 2016 to 2017 with giving its 3rd runner-up with Puteri Indonesia Perdamaian title.[5][17]
Under the management of the Yayasan Dharma Gantari with former Miss Tourism Indonesia 2016 Dikna Faradiba as director,[17] the first edition of the Miss Grand Indonesia pageant was organized in July 2018 in the capital, Jakarta.[1][2][5] The auditions was held in 18 cities countrywide to elected the qualified candidates for the national stage.[5][18] Yayasan Dharma Gantari also held a stand-alone Miss Grand national pageant the following year until the franchise was lost to Yayasan Dunia Mega Bintang of Ivan Gunawan in 2020.[3][4][19]
In 2020, under the direction of Ivan Gunawan, the Miss Grand Indonesia pageant was conducted as a pageant reality show with a total of 5 contestants.[4][20] In addition to Miss Grand International, the runner-up was also sent to compete internationally in the Miss Intercontinental pageant.[21]
After acquiring the license in 2020, Yayasan Dunia Mega Bintang continued to organize Miss Grand Indonesia as a stand-alone in the first year.[4] However, the two following representatives, for the 2021 and 2022 Miss Grand International, were instead appointed.[9][22] Beginning in 2023, the Indonesian candidates for such an international pageant have been elected through a newly established Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia, in which the runners-up were also sent to compete in other international pageants.[10]
