'''Miss Grand Slovakia''' is a national [[beauty pageant]] title awarded to Slovak representatives competing at the [[Miss Grand International]] pageant.<ref name=slo13/><ref name=slo14/><ref name=slo15/><ref name=slo16/> The title was first mentioned in 2013 when a [[Miss Slovakia]]-related personnel, Ján Oklamčák, obtained the license and subsequently appointed Denisa Paseciaková to compete at the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in [[Thailand]],<ref name=slo13>{{cite web|url=https://www.buongiornoslovacchia.sk/index.php/archives/41699|title=Slovacca terza a concorso di bellezza Miss Grand International, prima fra le europee|date=27 November 2013|access-date=29 December 2021|language=it|work=[[Buongiorno Slovacchia]]|archive-date=28 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131128114301/https://www.buongiornoslovacchia.sk/index.php/archives/41699}}</ref> where she was named the second runner-up,<ref name=slo13/><ref name=res13>{{cite web|url=https://www.metro.pr/pr/entretener/2013/11/19/janelee-chaparro-se-corona-miss-grand-international-2013.html|title=Janelee Chaparro se corona Miss Grand International 2013|author=Harry Rodríguez|date=18 November 2013|accessdate=8 February 2023|language=es|website=www.metro.pr|archivedate=8 May 2019|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20190508072838/https://www.metro.pr/pr/entretener/2013/11/19/janelee-chaparro-se-corona-miss-grand-international-2013.html}}</ref> which is considered the highest and only placement, to date, for Slovak representatives at the mentioned international tournament.<ref name=slo13/>
From 2015 to 2017, the license belonged to Kósa Annamária, the organizer of the Felvidék Szépe pageant,<ref name=bumm>{{cite web|language=hu|url=https://www.bumm.sk/regio/2016/02/28/kovacsics-karmen-lett-a-felvidek-szepe|title=Kovacsics Karmen lett a Felvidék Szépe|date=28 February 2016|access-date=28 December 2021|work=Bumm.sk|archive-date=29 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160229093938/https://www.bumm.sk/regio/2016/02/28/kovacsics-karmen-lett-a-felvidek-szepe}}</ref> so the Miss Grand Slovakia titleholders during the said period were determined through such an event.<ref name=slo15/><ref name=Bumm02/><ref name=Bumm01/> However, as the mentioned national pageant was dissolved in 2018, there has been no [[Miss Grand International]] license holder in Slovakia ever since.
==History== Slovakia debuted in the [[Miss Grand International]] in 2013, and its representative, Denisa Paseciaková, who was appointed by Ján Oklamčák of Oklamčák Production, was ranked as the 2nd runner-up;<ref name=slo13/> the following representative, who competed in 2014, was also appointed by the same licensee.<ref name=slo14/> Later in 2015, Oklamčák lost the license to Kósa Annamária, founder of the Hungarian-Slovak beauty contest Felvidék Szépe,<ref name=slo15/> which was founded in 2014,<ref name=fel14>{{cite web|url=https://sziakomarom.sk/ime-az-elso-fotok-felvidek-szepe-16-elodontoserol/|title=Íme az első fotók a Felvidék Szépe 16 elődöntőséről|date=8 December 2016|accessdate=27 May 2023|language=hu|website=Sziakomarom.sk|archivedate=26 May 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20230526170609/https://sziakomarom.sk/ime-az-elso-fotok-felvidek-szepe-16-elodontoserol/}}</ref> and the contest's main winners were sent to compete at the [[Miss Universe]] as Hungarian representatives.<ref name=slo16/> Under the direction of Annamária, the first runners-up of her affiliated pageant were named Miss Grand Slovakia;<ref name=slo15/><ref name=slo16/><ref name=slo161/> however, the license of [[Miss Universe Hungary]] was taken over by another organizer in 2017, causing the Miss Grand Slovakia title to be promoted as the main award instead.<ref name=Bumm01/>
After losing the franchise of [[Miss Universe Hungary]] in 2017, the Felvidék Szépe pageant was dissolved the following year, and, hitherto, the license of Miss Grand Slovakia was not purchased by any other agents.
