Miss Grand Emilia-Romagna is an Italian regional female beauty pageant, founded in 2021 by Nicola Coccoli and Slavka Nanona. The winners of the contest represent the region of Emilia-Romagna in the Miss Grand Italy national pageant.
Since the inception of the Miss Grand Italy pageant, Emilia-Romagna candidates have never won the contest yet; the highest placement they obtained was the top 10 finalist, won by Sophia Blanca Schettino in 2022.
History The Miss Grand Emilia-Romagna pageant was organized for the first time by local organizers Nicola Coccoli and Slavka Nanona on 17 September 2021. The contest consisted of 11 finalists who qualified for the region-level pageant through local auditions held in Rubiera, Bagnolo in Piano, and Campogalliano. At the end of the event, model Meghi Patozi was elected the first Miss Grand Emilia-Romagna. Since 2023, the competition license has belonged to another organizer, Carmelo Tornatore.
Several local auditions were organized annually to determine the finalists for the regional pageant. Besides the main winner, some finalists were also sent to compete nationally in the Miss Grand Italy pageant.
