**Miss Grand Ivory Coast** ([French](/source/French_language): *Miss Grande Côte d'Ivoire*) is a national beauty pageant for women in the [Ivory Coast](/source/Ivory_Coast), headquartered in [Abidjan](/source/Abidjan).[1][2] The competition was established in 2022 by the Comité Miss Grande Côte d'Ivoire (COMIGCI), under the directorship of Kelly Serge and Tatiana Kacou.[3] As the organization does not hold the national license for Miss Grand International, the winners of the contest have instead been designated to participate in alternative international competitions, including [Miss Planet International](/source/Miss_Planet_International) and Miss Premium African International.[4]

Ivory Coast has participated in the [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) pageant only once, in 2014, when the country was represented by Richlove Amissah,[5][6] who did not achieve placement among the finalists.[7]

## History

The inaugural Miss Grand Ivory Coast pageant was organized in 2022 under the direction of Kelly Serge and Tatiana Kacou[3] and featured nine finalists; it was held on 1 October at the Amphithéâtre de la Cité Rouge in [Abidjan](/source/Abidjan),[8] where Sandra N’Guessan, a [Baoulé](/source/Baoul%C3%A9_people) candidate from the host city, was declared the winner.[9][4] Although initially slated to represent Ivory Coast at the [Miss Grand International 2022](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2022) pageant in [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia),[10] her participation did not materialize due to the absence of a locally secured license, and she was instead assigned to compete in other international beauty competitions.[4]

In 2024, the franchise rights to designate an Ivory Coast representative to [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) were conferred upon Celest Productions, a Paris-based pageant organization led by Angell Robles Yanez,[11] who has also served as the director of [Miss Grand France](/source/Miss_Grand_France) since 2023.
