Contestants from several countries gathered in Dublin for a multicultural pageant that combined cultural celebration with an educational message about drug prevention.
The event welcomed 24 contestants representing seven nations and attracted around 450 guests to the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin.
Broccoli Care Ltd. sponsored the programme, which was organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events news eugene oregon Ltd. together with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.
The programme began with an educational exhibition where visitors could review factual information about drugs, addiction and prevention. Several contestants completed online drug-education courses before the event, with some finishing all fourteen modules.
Cllr. Francis Timmons, Mayor of South Dublin, spoke during the programme about the importance of bringing communities together through education.
Cultural performances added to the programme, including Irish dance, Indian classical dance and traditional Indonesian presentations.
Software engineer Niveditha Vudayagiri received the Miss Cross Continent 2026 title at the conclusion of the programme. Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin completed the top three as first and second runners-up.
By combining cultural expression with drug education, the programme gave the traditional pageant format a wider social purpose. Further background appears in the article covering the Dublin pageant promoting culture, leadership and drug awareness.
