September 2023 beauty pageant
Miss Grand Honduras 2024
Yariela García, Miss Grand Honduras 2024 (Assumed)
Miss Grand Honduras 2024 was the second edition of the Miss Grand Honduras pageant, held on September 16, 2023, at the Centro de Convenciones Honduras Maya, Tegucigalpa. Sixteen candidates, who qualified for the national final round through an online profile screening, competed for the title, of whom a 20-year-old audiovisual and advertising communication student representing Francisco Morazán, Cecilia García, was announced the winner.
Cecilia was expected to represent the country at Miss Grand International 2024 in Myanmar, but later resigned from the title in May 2024; safety concerns due to the host country's civil war were claimed. Yariela García, who was the top 10 finalist in the Miss Grand Honduras 2022, was then elected as the replacement through an audition organized in June 2024.
In addition to the main winner, the first runner-up, Abigail Rovelo, will be sent to compete in Miss Expo World 2024 in Guatemala, while the second runner-up, Alejandra Espino, will represent the country at the Miss Teenager Universe 2024 pageant.
Originally, eighteen candidates confirmed to participate, but the representatives of Lempira and Ocotepeque withdrew, making the finalized total of sixteen contestants.
