FAQ`s

If you still have questions, this is where we will address and answer them.

It is quite possible to combine participation in the Miss International Ukraine 2026 competition with studies or work. Many participants and winners of previous years successfully combined competition activities with other responsibilities.

It's absolutely OK. Shyness is not a weakness. It can be your superpower if you use it correctly. You don't have to be perfect to start. You just have to be yourself, alive, real, with desire. And that's enough to take the first step. Many of the finalists of the competition were also shy in the beginning, but the competition is a path of transformation. Confidence comes through action.

Yes, absolutely. Participation is open to girls from all over Ukraine, regardless of the size of the city. The main thing is your personality, motivation, and desire to represent the country internationally.

This is a beauty contest with a deep meaning, not just about beauty. The main emphasis is “Beauty with a purpose.” That is, the participants are evaluated not only for their appearance, but also for their personality, ideas, ambitions, public position, and ability to be a steering model. This is part of a large international platform. The winner represents Ukraine at Miss International in Japan, one of the most prestigious beauty contests. There, erudition, culture, and diplomacy are evaluated.

Therefore, the contest gives a chance to prove themselves at the level of a cultural ambassador. A strong social component of participation involves involvement in charitable and educational projects. After the contest, the girls do not just wear the crown, but often become media faces for socially important initiatives.

Not ideal parameters do not cross out your chances. On the contrary, modern contests, in particular, Miss International Ukraine, are increasingly moving away from stereotypical appearance and are looking for personality, charisma, intelligence, femininity in a broad sense.

What parameters are usually expected, but not mandatory: height from 1.68 m; age from 18 years; well-groomed, proportional figure, but not necessarily model - 90-60-90.

The main thing is how you present yourself, whether you are confident, elegant, sincere... This is visible even in videos and photos, and decides more than centimeters at the waist. Your charisma and speech, whether you know how to say an important opinion, hold yourself in public, inspire others.

Your story: a girl from a small town who strives for more. This is already a strong application. Authenticity is now more important than gloss.

The final lineup is formed comprehensively. The organizers can deliberately choose girls with different types to show the diversity and depth of Ukrainian femininity.

This is a great question and a very personal one.
Firstly, you know why you need it. I don't just want a crown, but a clear awareness of what exactly you want to convey, change, show, feel.

Secondly, you know how to behave confidently, even under pressure, because performances on stage, interviews, criticism are all part of the competition. If you are confident in yourself, know how to answer difficult questions and keep your back straight, this is already half the success.

Thirdly, you are not afraid to show your personality. The competition is looking for not just beauties, but charismatic personalities. If you know how to speak about yourself sincerely, are not afraid to be different, this is already your plus. And style too - it emphasizes your individuality. Fourth, you are ready to learn, because rehearsal, working on the fashion show, public speaking, speaking, setting goals, and being willing to grow and work on yourself are more important than perfection on stage.

Usually, casting managers contact through various communication formats: phone, call, message or Telegram, Viber, email with further instructions. Sometimes with a request to send additional photos, model snaps. Don't worry if there is no answer right away. There are a lot of applications in castings and the organizers work in stages.

Participants submit applications through the official website of the competition. The selection committee evaluates the applications and conducts interviews.

The selected finalists undergo intensive training: master classes in fashion shows, public speaking, photoshoots, and receive assistance from stylists and makeup artists.

During the final show, the participants demonstrate their fashion shows, answer questions from the jury, and present themselves.
