History

edit

After 5 consecutive years of appointing representatives to compete at the Miss Grand International pageant, the first stand-alone Miss Grand Indonesia was scheduled to happen in 2018 following the franchise transfer to a new organizer, Dharma Gantari Foundation.[3][9] The memorandum of understanding singing ceremony between the international organ and the local franchise holder was held at Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism Office in Jakarta on January 29, 2018.[1][2][10]

Selection of contestants

edit

The finalists for Miss Grand Indonesia 2018 were determined through the audition held in 18 cities countrywide from February to April 2018.[1][3][10] The qualified contestants were later assigned to represent one of Indonesia's provinces that they were affiliated with.[1]
