Maria Selena from Central Java was crowned as the new Miss Indonesia on Friday.
Maria, who beat 37 finalists from 33 provinces, was crowned by last year’s Miss Indonesia Nadine Alexandra and Miss World Leila Lopes from Angola.
The first runner-up was Liza Elly from East Java and the second runner-up was Andri Tentri from South Sulawesi.
Maria, a business major at Bandung’s Institute of Technology and a basketball player, said she would use her new title to contribute to the public.
“I am grateful for my victory and I want to contribute to people socially. I may have to take a break from my studies, but I’m willing to take the risk because this victory is my first step. I haven’t given becoming a model much thought,” she said.
Maria will represent Indonesia at the 2012 Miss Universe competition. The location of the event has not been decided, but reports suggest that the event’s organizers have set their eyes on Panama City.
