Miss Grand Ecuador is an Ecuadorian female national beauty pageant launched in 2021 by the Concurso Nacional de Belleza Ecuador (CNB Ecuador) organization, directed by Tahiz Panus and Miguel Panus, to select a country representative to participate in its parent pageant, Miss Grand International. Previously, the competition franchise belonged to Maria del Carmen Aguayo, who usually chose the runners-up or national finalists from her national pageant, Miss Ecuador, to partake in such an international competition. Ecuador has three Miss Grand International placements; the highest is first runner-up, achieved by Andrea Aguilera in 2021, followed by Mara Topi's Top 10 finalists in 2019. In the second edition of Miss Grand Ecuador 2023, sixteen official candidates have been selected after a nationwide search. Véronique Michielsen is crowned as Miss Grand Ecuador 2023 by Miss Grand Ecuador 2022 Liseth Naranjo. She will represent Ecuador at the upcoming Miss Grand International 2023 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Meanwhile, Andrea Ojeda of Guayaquil and Alyson Flores of Santo Domingo were awarded as 1st Runner-Up and 2nd Runner-Up respectively. The live show was telecast by TC Television Broadcast in Ecuador and on Grand TV for the international audience.
