Malou Peters, 20, from Næstved, bested 32 other beauties to be crowned Miss Danmark 2022 on Sunday, August 28 at the Shiny Star in Valby, Copenhagen.
Maja Bach and Zaara Naaz Ahmed were the first and second runners-up, respectively, while Cecilia Matine Larsen and Victoria Arvin Lautrup completed the Top 5 finalists.
Last year's titleholder, Johanne Grundt Hansen, relinquished her crown at the end of the event.
The new Miss Danmark works at Hunkemöller and is also a substitute teacher in a primary school. She will now have the opportunity to represent Denmark in an international pageant.
When asked what beauty is to her, she answered: "Beauty for me is being able to show empathy for other people. I think that the fundamentals of beauty is to be able to possess qualities such as being present and meeting other people at eye level. I believe that the most important thing about beauty is that actions and thoughts come from a loving place, within the individual. As well as having the will to want to make a difference for other people who need help."
Miss Danmark Organization, headed by former beauty queen Lisa Lents, holds the national license to send representatives to Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Grand International, Miss International, and Miss Supranational.
