The first open competition of national cultures, creativity and beauty "Grace International" was held in Vitebsk
To compete for the winner's crown, students from Vitebsk universities, representing different countries, passed a casting, the criteria for which included not only their external attractiveness but also their stage presence, ability to interact with the audience, and create colorful images. As a result, seven beauties took to the podium in the round hall of the Vitebsk Concert Hall: representatives of Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Turkmenistan, and Sri Lanka.
As the organizers emphasized, this is not an ordinary beauty contest: diverse challenges were prepared for the girls. They had to demonstrate their culinary skills by preparing a national dish and creatively present their homeland to the audience. The fashion show turned out to be unusual – in addition to appearing in evening gowns, the attendees saw the contestants in national costumes.
Following the results of all competitions, the Miss Grace International title was awarded to Parista Smith from Sri Lanka, and the first runner-up was Juan Puxi from China. The best Belarusian participant, Polina Evstafyeva, was awarded the title of second runner-up.
