Nariman Battikha Crowned Miss Grand Venezuela 2025
Valencia, Venezuela – August 31, 2024 – Nariman Battikha, representing the Monagas region, has been named Miss Grand Venezuela 2025 in a glittering ceremony held Saturday night, August 30, in Valencia. The crowning marks Battikha’s transition to representing Venezuela on the international stage at the Miss Grand International competition in Thailand within the next three weeks.
The selection of Battikha concluded a unique contest format, as announced by director jacqueline Aguilera, which initially proposed reducing a field of 38 candidates to 24 for a later competition on december 4th. Though, the final decision bypassed those plans, directly awarding the title to Battikha.
Battikha brings a background steeped in pageantry, having previously competed in Miss Venezuela 2017 and other beauty competitions. She is also a fluent English speaker, a lecturer, and a motivational coach.
“Thank you Venezuela for all the support, I will represent you with great pride, hoping that you can bring me that crown in the international competition,” Battikha stated immediately after receiving the tiara from outgoing queen Ana blanco.
The event was hosted by Adrián Lara and Adriana marval.
