A total of 36 young women from across Wales will take part in the 2026 final, with Hope Shakespeare, 21, from Llantwit Major, Aine O Kelly, 21, from Barry, and Charlotte Warren, 21, from Rhoose, representing the Vale.
The winner will go on to represent Wales at Miss World.
The Miss Wales final will be held at The Riverfront in Newport on Saturday, April 18, following two days of events in both Cardiff and Newport.
One of the signature events is the Miss Wales empowerment day, where finalists will take part in confidence-building activities including a barefoot walk over broken glass and breaking wooden boards with their hands.
They will also attend a charity ball in support of Beauty With A Purpose, before taking to the stage for the final show.
In the lead-up to the final, contestants have raised funds for A-Sisterhood, a charity supporting women and girls worldwide.
The finalists have also taken part in workshops with Women’s Aid and campaigned for causes close to their hearts.
The winner of Miss Wales 2026 will go on to represent Wales at Miss World next year.
The current titleholder is Helena Hawke, a 21-year-old student nurse from Caerleon.
