Miss Pacific Islands 2015

This motivation began with current Miss PNG Abigail Havora, winning the crown and title as Miss Pacific Islands last year. 

Patron of Miss Pacific Islands Pageant Papua New Guinea (MPIP PNG) Lynda Babao-O'Neill when congratulating Miss Havora, said she is a great role model for many young women.

She said Abigail has proudly and so graciously represented our country as Miss PNG at the pageant in Cook Islands. 

“Her win not only highlights her wonderful Pacific values and virtues but also instills in us all, such pride in being a Papua New Guinean.

This is the first time PNG has won the crown in this pageant.

PNG has never won an international or regional crown since the first Miss PNG Eva Arni who went on to win the "Miss Asia" title in 1975.

First runner up is Miss Samoa Ariana Taufao, second runner up is Miss Tonga Brittne Fuimaono, third runner up is Miss Fiji Zaira Begg and fourth runner up is Miss Solomon Islands Deanne Enoch.

Miss Havora also took out two categories, Best Sarong designed by local fashion label Wantok Clothing Limited and Best Talent.

The other three categories ie; Sarong, Traditional inspired and stage interview have been judged.

Miss PNG Abigail Havora based her talent on a poem about domestic violence which touched a lot of hearts in Rarotonga.
