Shaniah Dick, Miss Grand Seychelles 2023

**Miss Grand Seychelles** is a national beauty pageant title awarded to [Seychelles](/source/Seychelles) representatives who were elected to compete at the [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2014 to a [Sino-Seychellois](/source/Sino-Seychellois) model, Linda Cui,[5] followed by a diploma student from [Mahé](/source/Mah%C3%A9%2C_Seychelles), Shaniah Dick, in 2023.[1][2][3]

Since the establishment of [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International), Seychelles only participated once in 2023,[3][4][6] and the remaining representative withdrew.[7] The first contest of Miss Grand Seychelles is scheduled to be held in 2024.[1][2]

## History

Initially, [Seychelles](/source/Seychelles) was expected to make its debut in [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) in 2014 by the appointed representative, Linda Nan Cui,[5] but Linda did not enter the [international contest](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2014) in Thailand for undisclosed reasons.[7]

Later in 2023, the licence of Miss Grand Seychelles was taken by a newly established pageant organiser, the Seychelles Pageantry Association,[1] with Gabriella Gonthier as the director and Jouel Boutique as the sponsor.[1][2] The audition to select the country representative for [Miss Grand International 2023](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2023) was then arranged on 5 August.[1] Four candidates qualified for the final round, and Shaniah Dick, a diploma student in social work from the National Institute of Health and Social Studies (NIHSS), was named the winner;[1][2][3] however, Shaniah received a non-placement after partaking in the [international pageant](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2023) in Vietnam.[8][9]

Initially, the Seychelles Pageantry Association also planned to organise a contest in 2024 to elect their representative for [Miss Grand International 2024](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2024),[1][2] but was cancelled for undisclosed reasons.
