Blog Article

Contestants from several countries gathered in Dublin for a multicultural pageant that combined cultural celebration with an educational message about drug prevention.

Twenty-four women from seven countries participated in the programme, which was attended by approximately 450 guests at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre.

The pageant was organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd., Dublin with support from Broccoli Care Ltd. and cooperation from The Truth About Drugs Ireland.

The programme began with an educational exhibition where visitors could review factual information about drugs, addiction and prevention. Contestants were encouraged to prepare by studying drug-prevention materials, and a number of them completed every available online course.

Mayor of South Dublin Cllr. Francis Timmons addressed the audience and highlighted the value of cultural diversity, education and prevention.

The afternoon also included Irish, Indian and Indonesian dance performances, reflecting the international character of the gathering.

Niveditha Vudayagiri, a software engineer with a master’s degree in artificial intelligence, was crowned Miss Cross Continent 2026. The other leading awards went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.

By combining cultural expression with drug education, the programme gave the traditional pageant format a wider social purpose. More information is available in the full report on the Miss & Mrs Cross Continent event in Dublin.
