Germany’s Jasmin Selberg bested 67 other beauty queens to win the coveted Miss International title in the finals night held on Tuesday, December 13 at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

The 23-year-old university student in history and philosophy received the new crown by Long Beach Pearl from Sireethorn Leearamwat, the longest-reigning Miss International from Thailand and became Germany’s second Miss International queen after Iris Klein in 1989.

For her speech, Selberg said: “Someone I really look up to told me that it’s good to start small before doing something big. And I would say I dare to dream big because that just say… Let’s just begin with that it’s good to support your locals. And this is what I want to do if I was lucky enough to be the next Miss International. Because it is not just what the big things are that we do—the little things matter because small things have big echoes. Let us start to plant flowers in our gardens for the bees. Or let’s just pick up trash because it is beneficial for our environment. It’s not just the big things that matter, but also the small and so does a good heart, kindness, and peace which we all should be ambassadors of.”

Hannah was already an early favorite during the pageant. She stole hearts during her performance at the swimsuit and evening gown competition.

She eloquently answered during the Q&A portion after she was asked, “Given the reach and power of social media, do you believe that genuine freedom of speech exists in the Philippines nowadays? Why or why not?”

Her winning answer was, “Freedom of speech is a basic human right that we all must remember and it is important for democracy and with the upcoming elections, we definitely need free speech. On Twitter, we are limited to a few characters and what I’ve seen from these tweets have been powerful and helped me think of who I would like to vote for in the upcoming elections.”
