Miss Grand Estonia is a national beauty pageant title awarded to Estonian representatives competing at the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2013, when a professional model from Novorossiysk, Evgeniia Forkash, was assigned to represent Estonia at the inaugural edition of the mentioned international contest in Thailand.[5]
Since the first partaking in 2013, the license of Miss Grand Estonia belonged to a sub-continental pageant based in Stockholm, Miss Queen of Scandinavia;[2][4] however, its partnership with Miss Grand International was terminated in 2020, and, hitherto, the Miss Grand Estonia license was not purchased by any other agency.
Estonia debuted in the Miss Grand International pageant in 2013, represented by a Russian-based model from Novorossiysk, Evgeniia Forkash,[5] who was assigned to participate by the Miss Queen of Scandinavia organization (MQOS),[2][4] a Stockholm-based pageant chaired by Peter Hadward,[6] but she was unplaced.[7] In the following years, the country representatives at such an international tournament were either determined through the Miss Queen of Scandinavia pageant or directly hand-picked by the director.[2][3][4]
Since the first competition in 2013, Estonian representatives have never been placed in Miss Grand International.[1][4][7][8]
