Standouts in Miss Grand International Nicaragua 2023 Presentation Night
Nicaraguans celebrate the official opening of the beauty pageant that is establishing itself as one of the best at the national level; Miss Grand Nicaragua, directed by Mr. Saúl Benítez, is a platform that offers the opportunity to twelve beautiful Nicaraguan girls to show their charisma, essence as a person, and skill on the catwalk.
This year, contestants were presented wearing Huipil, the country's national costume, at a beautiful event. I felt a little sad to see the changes in the original design of this costume because it represents the authenticity of our Nicaraguan Culture. I even saw a corset or strapless Huipil that does not have any relation with our traditions. Let's take care of our culture and respect it, let's not confuse giving a show with making changes that do not represent us as Nicaraguans.
I present my five hitters during the night of imposition bands and the official presentation. The organization also showed an introduction video of each candidate; they took advantage of this space to tell us about their tastes, hobbies, studies, and more relevant information. I took advantage of this resource to determine the best contestants in oratory.
The following young women shone on stage for their charisma, confidence, beauty of body and face, spontaneity, catwalk, and oratory. Let's remember that all these qualities are important if a contestant wants to stand out in the international competition.

04. Miss Grand Managua, Gabriela Saballos: She has, without a doubt, the best body of this edition and the best catwalk. He is a young woman who projects a lot on stage. Her weakness is her oratory because although she expresses herself fluently and articulately, she is very technical as if she were reading a document, that's why she fails to connect with the audience. I see in Gabriela a girl with a good chance of winning the title because she is elegant as well as pretty.
03. Miss Grand Bluefields, Keytel Price: Boy! This photo does not honor her beauty, this girl is beautiful. She has the best face in the competition and is an enigmatic beauty. Keytel owns a captivating charisma. She projects a lot of confidence. I must say that her weakness is also her oratory, she performs very well in front of the cameras, but it does not flow naturally and leaves that feeling of faking it. Keytel owns a stunning body, she is tall, beautiful and, has a very good catwalk, however, I think that for this international pageant that requires a traditional miss concept, Keytel would be in optimal physical condition for this challenge if she looked a little thinner. I see her crowning herself without a problem if she continues where she is going.
02. Miss Grand Corn Island, Oneysi Campbell: Oneysi is one step away from conquering this crown; she has a beautiful face, one of the top three in this edition. Her beauty is very international and she projects confidence. Her hair gives her that originality that she needs to stand out in a group. She owns a nice figure, is graceful, and her oratory is excellent. Her negative point is her catwalk, she gave us very abrupt movements, but I am sure that if she puts her mind to it, she can improve and conquer her dream of shouting "Nicaragua" in Miss Grand International.
01. Miss Grand León, Esther Ruiz: Are you surprised, right? Well, I was also surprised by this young lady. Esther has a non-traditional enigmatic beauty. She is the owner of a beautiful, very sweet and angelic face; is tall, slim and her oratory is the best of all because she knows how to touch our emotions, she's focused, and knows to coordinate her ideas in such a natural and fluid way. This girl could be showing off that crown that is still Maycrin Jaenz's if she doesn't let her guard down. What is her negative point? Yes, it's her catwalk; she needs to learn to coordinate movements, learn to pose, know her angles and play with the camera.
This was the first presentation, and we must see how they evolve throughout the month before the final night that will take place in Managua on Wednesday, May 24. I do not know if the candidates speak English, a factor that is very important for an excellent representation in Miss Grand International. I will be watching this contest to bring you all the news.
