Since first participating in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Navarra's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the top 13 finalists, won by Dori Rodríguez in 2021.[5]
History edit
From 2018 to 2019, after the president of the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Vicente Gonzalez, began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers in 2016, the community of Navarra joined the competition with the representation of the appointed candidates.[6] Later in 2020, the license for Miss Grand Navarra was granted to a local organizer who later held the first contest of the Miss Grand Navarra pageant consisting of candidates from 13 municipalities on October 18, 2020, in which a 21-year-old transgender representing Orcoyen, Dori Rodríguez, was named the winner,[1][2] making her the first transgender to win a female beauty pageant in Navarra.[1][7]
The organizer also held another edition of the pageant in the following years. However, the contract between them and the national organ was discontinued in 2024 resulting in no Navarra representative in the Miss Grand Spain 2024 pageant.[3][8]
