Overview

The Miss Startu Speedway Ekstraliga fan‑voting contest continued through August, with Natalia Ławnik and Oliwia Ostrowska among the eight finalists.

On 2 August 2026, the national Miss Polski pageant concluded in Nowy Sącz. 28‑year‑old Wiktoria Ptak, a fourth‑year medical student from Supraśla, was crowned Miss Polski 2026, receiving a 100 000 zł prize and the right to represent Poland at international contests. The ceremony, broadcast live on Polsat, featured performances by Polish artists and the handing over of the crown by outgoing Miss Polski Oliwia Mikulska.

Ptak’s background includes fifteen years in the United States, work as a Guardian ad Litem in Florida, and research on women’s health. She announced plans to open a mobile clinic for small towns after completing her medical training. Runners‑up were Eliza Ciuła (1st Wicemiss), Klaudia Węcłaś (2nd), Oliwia Krysiak (3rd) and Klaudia Bartoszek (4th). The event underscored a growing emphasis on academic achievement and social‑service credentials in Polish beauty contests.
