Miss Grand Costa Rica 2022 was the first edition of the Miss Grand Costa Rica beauty pageant, held at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in San José on July 7, 2022.[1][2][3][4] Twelve contestants, chosen to participate directly through the national casting held by the Concurso Nacional de Belleza de Costa Rica (CNB Costa Rica), competed for the title,[5][6][7] of whom a 28-year-old model from Guanacaste, Brenda Muñoz, was named the winner.[1][8][9] She then represented Costa Rica in the Miss Grand International 2022 pageant held on October 25 in Indonesia,[2][8][10][11] but got a non-placement.[12][13]
The event was hosted by Catalina Murillo, Sasa Gomez, and Henry Wood.[14]
Following the end of the international tournament, due to such an unsatisfactory competition result, some Costa Ricans accused the national organizers of a lack of preparation and mismanagement of Brenda's English language training before entering the international contest.[15][16][17] The country's licensee, Erick Solís, was also blamed for using Brenda only for business purposes.[16][17]
