Miss Grand Paraná is a Brazilian state-level female beauty pageant,[1][2][3] founded in 2021 by a São Paulo-based organizer, Edy Godoy, to select the representatives of Paraná for the Miss Grand Brazil pageant.[4] The competition license was transferred to Marta Cathiusse, who has owned and run the pageant since 2024.[5]

Since the establishment of Miss Grand Brazil, Paraná representatives won the contest once in 2014 by an appointed Yameme Ibrahim.[6]

The state of Paraná has participated in the Miss Grand Brazil pageant since the first edition which was held in 2014.[7] However, its first three representatives were appointed. The first Miss Grand Paraná was held in November 2021 after the state franchise was granted to a local organizer led by Edy Godoy.[8] The contest, held on June 26 at the HZ Hotel in Patos de Minas, consisted of 18 finalists, of whom a model Gabriela Borges was elected the winner.[8] Borges later participated in the national pageant held the following year and was named the first runner-up.[9][10]

Later in late 2023, Edy Godoy organized the state pageant to select a representative for the 2024 national contest;[1][2][3] however, the 2024 state winner, Aline Biolchi, had to withdraw from the national event due to the change of national franchise holder,[11][12] and the state license for Miss Grand Paraná 2024 was granted to another organizer.[5]
