**Miss Grand Turkey** is a female beauty pageant title awarded to [Turkish](/source/Turkish_people) representatives competing at the [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) pageant.[1][2][3][4] The title was first awarded in 2016 when a Ukrainian-Turkish fashion model and singer from [Cherkasy](/source/Cherkasy), Diana Birgen (Osypenko), was appointed as a Turkish candidate for [Miss Grand International 2016](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2016), held in [Las Vegas](/source/Las_Vegas), United States.[1][2][5]

Since the establishment of [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) in 2013, Turkey participated three times: in 2016, 2022, and 2023; however, all of its representatives were unplaced.[6][7][8]

## History

Turkey participated in [Miss Grand International](/source/Miss_Grand_International) for the first time in 2016 when a Ukrainian fashion model and singer from [Cherkasy](/source/Cherkasy), Diana Birgen (Osypenko), was nominated by Miss Grand International beauty pageant management as a [Turkish](/source/Turkish_people) representative in the international competition held in [Las Vegas](/source/Las_Vegas), United States;.[1][2][5] Nowadays Diana Birgen (Osypenko) is the president of the Aegean Ukrainians Association ([Turkish](/source/Turkish_language): *Ege Ukraynalılar Derneği*),[9][10] which supports Ukrainian residents in the [Aegean region](/source/Aegean_region) as well as promotes Ukrainian traditions among the Ukrainian community on the [Aegean coast](/source/Aegean_Sea).[10]

After five consecutive years of absence, the franchise was then purchased in 2022 by an Istanbul-based model agency, Özcan Yılmaz Agency Model,[11] and a [Turkish German](/source/Turks_in_Germany) social activist who was also the finalist of [Miss Grand Germany 2022](/source/Miss_Grand_Germany), Deria Koc, was assigned as a Turkish representative for [Miss Grand International 2022](/source/Miss_Grand_International_2022) in Indonesia,[3][12] but she was unplaced .[7]
