The competition had started off with twelve finalists originally. Of the twelve finalists that had made it to the final stage, one has decided to back down from the competition. Stating personal reasons, Deborah has resigned from the competition. The organization tried their best to work out a way to keep the beauty queen in the competition, however, a way could not be worked out around Deborah’s personal issues, and she had to finally take back her candidacy for the crown of Miss Grand Netherlands 2018.

Miss Grand Netherlands proceeded with the remaining 11 contestants without filling in Deborah’s place with another contestant. The pageant comes under the franchise of “12 Months of Beauty”, which is run by Robin and Stefan, the national directors, who also owns the Miss Earth Netherlands pageant that crowned Deborah in the past.

The 11 finalists are enjoying every bit of the pageant and are working hard to get closer to the crown. The reigning queen Miss Grand Netherlands 2017, Kelly Van Den Dungen is also spending time with the delegates, giving them tips and sharing her own experience with the girls. The 2018 candidates of Miss Grand Netherlands also had a chance to enjoy an official photo shoot with the reigning queen.
