2013–2015: Early years
Puerto Rico debuted in Miss Grand International in 2013, and the franchise was under the Miss World Puerto Rico contest until 2016,[6][8] when a San Juan-based event organizer led by Miguel R. Deliz, Nuestra Belleza Puerto Rico, Inc., took over the license.[5]
Under the direction of Miss Mundo Puerto Rico, the first representative, Janelee Chaparro, was appointed to join the international contest in Thailand and also won the title.[6] The following two candidates were determined through the Miss World Puerto Rico pageant, which was directed by Anna Santisteban.[6][8]
2016–present: Nuestra Belleza Puerto Rico
In the early days after acquiring the franchise, most of the country's representatives at Miss Grand International were appointed. Later in 2019, the national pageant of Nuestra Belleza Puerto Rico was created to select the country's representatives for Miss Grand International, Miss International, Miss Supranational, Top Model of the World and Miss Intercontinental.[1] However, the pageant was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the representatives for the aforementioned international contests were instead determined through the casting process.[9][10]
Since 2022, Nuestra Belleza Puerto Rico, Inc. only holds the Puerto Rican licenses for Miss Grand International, Miss International, Miss Cosmo and Miss Supranational.[2][5]
