The CNB Miss Grand Paraguay 2026 marked the 8th edition of the Miss Grand Paraguay pageant and the 3rd edition of the Concurso Nacional de Belleza del Paraguay (CNB Paraguay) project. The event was held on 3 May 2026 at the Teatro Mangoré in Ciudad del Este.^[1]^[2] A total of fifteen contestants competed for the opportunity to represent Paraguay in various international beauty pageants, including Miss Grand International 2026, Miss Earth 2026, and others.^[3]

At the conclusion of the event, the title of Miss Grand Paraguay 2026 was awarded to Micaela Viveros, representing Amambay.^[3] She was crowned by the outgoing titleholder, Cecilia Romero, and is scheduled to represent Paraguay at the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant, to be held in India.^[1]

In addition to conferring the principal title, the competition also serves as a national selection platform for appointing Paraguayan representatives to other international beauty pageants.^[1]^[4] Among these, the Miss Earth Paraguay title was awarded to Verónica Ocampo of Ciudad del Este.^[3]

Background

Date and venue

The pageant camp commenced on 28 April 2026, during which several ancillary activities and challenges were conducted. On 30 April 2026, the preliminary round—comprising the swimsuit and evening gown segments—was held at the Teatro Mangoré in Ciudad del Este to determine the contestants advancing to the first cut in the grand final.^[5] The final round was scheduled for 3 May at the same venue.^[3]

Selection of contestants

Following the conclusion of Miss Grand International 2025 in October, the national organizer, MGM Producciones, opened applications to compete in the 2026 Miss Grand Paraguay in November 2025. The call was open to Paraguayan women aged 19 to 34 years who were single, without children, and either native-born or naturalized citizens, with a minimum height requirement of 1.62 m.^[6]

Applicants meeting the criteria were evaluated and shortlisted to compete as official candidates representing various localities in the national competition.^[4]^[6] Notably, no preliminary Miss Grand regional competitions were held for this edition of the national contest. However, several titleholders and runners-up from other regional pageants operating under different designations were appointed to participate, including the winner of Miss UNA.
