Wiktoria Ptak crowned Miss Polski 2026, plans medical career
Wiktoria Ptak, a 28‑year‑old from Supraśla in the Podlaskie region, was crowned Miss Polski 2026 on 2 August 2026 at the gala in Nowy Sącz. The former US resident, who spent 15 years in the United States, is a fourth‑year medical student at the Medical University of Białystok. In addition to the crown, she received a prize of 100 000 zł and will represent Poland at international beauty contests.
Ptak’s background includes work as a Guardian ad Litem in Florida, where she advocated for children in the court system, and research on women’s health and pain mechanisms. She aims to open a mobile clinic serving small towns after completing her medical training. The runners‑up were Eliza Ciuła (1st Wicemiss), Klaudia Węcłaś (2nd), Oliwia Krysiak (3rd) and Klaudia Bartoszek (4th). The outgoing Miss Polski, Oliwia Mikulska, handed over the crown.
The event was broadcast live on Polsat and featured performances by Polish artists. Ptak’s victory highlights a shift in pageants toward candidates with strong academic and social‑service credentials.
