Former Miss Roma Mirka Pikolová one of 14 Miss Czech Republic finalists

On Monday, 20 February at the Augustian House in Luhačovice, Czech Republic, almost 50 young women competed for the final round of the Miss Czech Republic beauty contest. The jury has chosen 14 finalists.

Mirka Pikolová, a former Miss Roma who is 22 years old, is among them. The women competed in the categories of their freely chosen disciplines, gave interviews in Czech and foreign languages, and promenaded in bathing suits.

The jury included former Czech top model Simona Krainová, one of the Czech Republic’s most successful photographers, Benedikt Renč, leading Czech stylist Filip Vaněk, finalists of the 2016 Miss Czech Republic contest, and representatives of the competition’s partners, led by Eva Čerešňáková and Martin Ditmar. Online voting for the preferred candidate is open until 5 March, and on the basis of that voting two finalists will travel to the international competition at Hotel Lomnica in the Tatra Mountains of Slovakia.

Pikolová is a graduate of the International Dance Conservatory in Prague and focuses primarily on acting in musicals, dance, and modeling. She would also like to aid children in addition to her other work and has contributed to the international charity organization UNICEF.
