History
Nicaragua competed at Miss Grand International for the first time in 2014, by María Rivera, the appointed representative from Managua. In 2016, the Miss Nicaragua, headed by Karen Celebertti, had obtained the license for the 2016 – 2017, then the country representatives were elected via such a national competition. After an absence in 2018, the León-based designer Saúl Benítez later purchased the license in the following year, however, his first two affiliated titleholders – Vanessa Baldizón and Teresa Moreno – were designated without organizing the contest, both of them were the national finalists of Miss Nicaragua 2017. In 2021, Benítez ran the first contest of Miss Grand Nicaragua on 8 August at Jose de la Cruz Mena Municipal Theater of the León city, aiming to determine the country representative for the 2021 and 2022 edition of Miss Grand International. The contest consisted of 9 candidates from 7 departments, including Boaco, Granada, León, Managua, RACCN, RACCS, and Río San Juan, of which, both Managua and the RACCN was sending 2 delegates to take part. In the final round, Epifanía Solís of Managua together with Maycrin Jáenz of Granada were sequentially announced Miss Grand Nicaragua 2021 and 2022. Since the debutant in 2014, to date, none of Nicaragua's representatives been qualified for the further round on the international stage. However, the 2021 candidate, Epifanía Solís, was placed among the top 10 best in a swimsuit competition, one of the sub-contests in Miss Grand International 2021 pageant. Edition
