History

edit

Belarus officially debuted in the Miss Grand International in 2015, represented by Luliia Kuper, who was directly invited by the international organizer to participate.[8] However, in 2013, an announcement of the country representative for the 2013 international competition was made,[5] but the mentioned candidate, Veronika Chachyna, withdrew from the competition,[6] after she obtained the top 10 placement and a special title of Miss Europe in another international pageant, Miss Supranational 2013, held in Minsk, the capital of her home country.[9]

Since their first participation in 2015, Belarusian representatives at Miss Grand International were all appointed by the respective licensees,[1][2][7] and all of them were unplaced at the international competition.[1][4][10][11][12]
