Austria’s capital has chosen the new winners of the national «Miss Earth» pageant. During a gala evening held at designer Eliza Malec’s boutique, the main crown was awarded to Vienna native Lotte Diry. She will go on to represent the country at the world finals in Manila next year.

After several selection rounds, the jury named four winners. Alongside Lotte Diry, the titles went to: Aleksandra Vukic from Salzburg («Miss Earth Air»), Tajamowa Adilja from Upper Austria («Miss Earth Fire»), and Selina Popaj from Carinthia («Miss Earth Water»).

«This is an enormous honor and, at the same time, an opportunity to bring environmental projects and charitable initiatives to life,» Diry said after her victory.

The evening combined a beauty contest with a fashion show and a charitable mission: ten finalists presented evening gowns by Eliza Malec, while a lottery helped raise funds for children battling cancer.

Among the distinguished guests were cultural and business representatives, including Christian Niedermeyer, Oliver Feicht, and Kathi Stumpf with her partner Alexander «Bezi» Beza.

The «Miss Earth Austria» competition has been held since 2011, aiming to unite beauty with the values of ecological responsibility. The organizers have already opened registration for the 2026 edition.
