Miss Austria 2026

Miss Austria is the national pageant representing Austria at international competitions. Austria's rich cultural heritage, from its imperial history to its world-famous arts and music scene, gives the competition a distinctive backdrop. Candidates come from Vienna and Austria's federal states and are assessed on elegance, personality, communication, and social purpose. The Miss Austria titleholder represents a country known for cultural sophistication and European cosmopolitanism, and is expected to carry that identity confidently on the international stage. Austria has sent representatives to Miss Universe and Miss World and has a respected presence in European pageantry.

Applications are made through the Miss Austria Organization's official channels. Candidates must be Austrian nationals or legal residents within the eligible age range. The competition includes application screening and a nationally organised final.

Miss Austria has been held for many decades and has reflected Austria's European identity and cultural pride. The competition has sent delegates to major international pageants and Austrian women have achieved recognition at the international level.
