Why they matter:
- They represent a shift: not just the traditional “beauty and brawn” but values, vision, and voice.
- Each finalist comes with unique strengths — whether public speaking, charitable work, artistic skills, or entrepreneurship.
- It shows pageantry is evolving — becoming more substance-driven, less just about how one looks in a swimsuit.
What This Means for the Creative / Casting World
- A reminder that personality shines: As pageants evolve, so must auditions. It’s not enough to look good — you have to carry something meaningful.
- Space for role-models: These finalists will likely become ambassadors, public voices, and faces of campaigns. Great opportunity if you align with causes and brands.
- More work behind the scenes: Styling, photography, videography, social media presence… these finalists are going to need talent across the board — actors, models, dancers, voice talent, photographers, etc.
