Beyond voting: How supporters can strengthen Snit's Miss World bid

Event time:

By · Published

Supporters of Eritrea's Snit Habteab Tewoldemedhin can strengthen her Miss World campaign through two public-facing routes: the People's Choice vote and authentic engagement with her official digital content.

People's Choice remains the clearest direct route. Snit was first in Africa with 5,536,552 points at the latest verification on August 30. The continental leader when Round 1 closes at 22:00 Vietnam time on September 4 will enter the Top 40. Votes then carry into the global rounds, where the two leading contestants advance to the Top 12 and the final People's Choice winner reaches the Top 6.

Miss World's published format also lists Multimedia among the challenges that can secure a Top 40 place, with the overall Multimedia winner advancing automatically to the Top 20. Supporters can help Snit's visibility by following her verified profile and giving authentic engagement to her official content: watching videos in full, liking, leaving meaningful comments, sharing and reposting. Her latest reel, “I came to Vietnam carrying Eritrea with me,” reflects on representing Eritrea, discovering Vietnamese culture and building friendships across more than 100 countries.

Sharing Snit's Designing for Diversity work can also widen the reach of her disability-inclusion message, though Miss World has not published a public formula linking advocacy engagement to competition points. The final crown cannot be decided by supporters: once the field reaches the Top 6, the judges select Miss World 2026 and the two runners-up.
