Miss Grand Brazil 2019 was the second edition of the Miss Grand Brazil beauty pageant,[1] held on February 28, 2019, at the Dall'Onder Grande Hotel in Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul.[2][3] Twenty-two contestants, who qualified for the national stage through state contests held by the Concurso Nacional de Beleza (CNB Brazil), competed for the title,[1][3] of whom a nutrition student and model resident of Mooca representing the state of São Paulo, Marjorie Marcelle, was elected the winner.[2][4][5] She later represented Brazil at the Miss Grand International 2019 contest held that year on October 25 in Venezuela,[6][7] and was named the fourth runner-up.[8][9][10]
The contest was showcased under the direction of Henrique and Marina Fusquine Fontes, presidents of the CNB Brazil,[1] who have owned the Miss Grand Brazil license since 2015.[11] The tournament's grand gala final was broadcast via Cartão de Visita, which is part of the news portal R7, one of the three most accessed in the country, as well as on the official Facebook page of its parent platform, Miss Grand International.[1]
In the grand final competition held on February 28, the results of the preliminary competition—which consisted of the swimsuit and evening gown competition and the closed-door interview—determined the 15 semifinalists. The top 15 competed in the swimsuit round and were narrowed down to the top 12, who then competed in the evening gown round and were further cut down to the last nine finalists. The nine qualified candidates delivered a speech related to the pageant campaign, "Stop wars and violence," which determined the last five semifinalists, who then competed in the question and answer portion. After this, Miss Grand Brazil 2019 and her four runners-up were announced.[3]
