Belarusian student in top 6 at World Miss University contest

MINSK, 29 December (BelTA) – Karolina Chernoshei, student of the Philosophy and Social Studies Faculty of Belarusian State University, made it to the top six at the World Miss University contest and won a special nomination Miss Photogenic, BelTA informs.

“The contest was held in Cambodia from 5 to 21 December. I made it to the top six and received a special award Miss Photogenic. All in all, there were 83 participants from across the globe – the USA, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Colombia, and many other countries,” Karolina Chernoshei said.

She thanked everyone who supported her throughout the contest. “Thanks a million to those who supported me, sent me messages, voted for me or just kept their fingers crossed,” the student added. She expressed her special gratitude to the senior staff of the faculty, who congratulated her on the great performance at such a prestigious contest.

The annual beauty pageant World Miss University was established in 1986 by the International Association of University Presidents. The first installment was timed to the International Year of Peace declared by the UN. The idea was to encourage the most talented and beautiful students to become “advocates for peace”.
