Miss Indonesia 2026 Judging: MISS Concept and Beauty with a Purpose

In its judging process, Miss Indonesia applies the MISS concept — short for Manners, Impressive, Smart, and Social. Social care receives special attention, aligned with the Beauty with a Purpose concept: beauty that serves a purpose through positive contributions to society.
This year, finalists also competed across seven special judging tracks (fast tracks), including Art and Photography, Beauty with a Purpose, the Head-to-Head Challenge, Top Model, Talent, and a social media vote.
