History

edit

After Vicente Gonzalez acquired the license for Miss Grand Spain in 2015, he began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers, who would name the provincial representatives to compete in the national pageant the following year. In the province of Sevilla, the first provincial contest of Miss Grand happened on 21 February 2016, at the Gran Casino Aljarafe, Tomares, with candidates from 24 municipalities involved.[1][5][6] Of whom, a 21-year-old University of Seville student representing Triana, Cynthia Ruz, was named the first Miss Grand Sevilla.[1][5]

To participate in the event, several municipalities in Seville held local competitions or auditions to determine their representatives.[9][10][11] However, some of Miss Grand Sevilla candidates might be directly elected by the provincial organizer.[12]: 10 [13][2]
