Miss Palestine 2026 is now accepting applications from women across Palestine and the Diaspora. The Miss Palestine Organization has officially announced the Miss Palestine 2026 national competition, opening applications to Palestinian women aged 18 to 35 in Palestine and across the diaspora worldwide.
Hosted by Nadeen Ayoub, who held the Miss Palestine title from 2022 to 2025 and became the first Palestinian woman to compete at Miss Universe, the competition will hold its final casting rounds in Palestine and Jordan before the grand finale in Jordan in October 2026.
This year’s theme, “Beauty Beyond Borders,” puts a fresh spin on the traditional pageant format, focusing not just on appearance but also on confidence, purpose, leadership and cultural pride.
Miss Palestine is more than a title. It is a platform for Palestinian women to be seen, heard and supported
Ayoub said, highlighting the competition’s goal of giving Palestinian women a space to celebrate their identity, talents and ambitions.
Beyond the crown, the organisation says the competition aims to create meaningful opportunities for Palestinian women and amplify their voices on a global stage.
The 2026 winner is expected to represent Palestine at the 75th Miss Universe pageant, set to take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in November 2026.
