Madeleine Malmberg to represent Norway at Miss International 2023


Miss Norway 2023 (Miss Universe Norway 2023) fourth runner-up Madeleine Malmberg has been officially appointed as Miss International Norway 2023.

The 19-year-old high school student from Fredrikstad is now preparing to compete in Miss International 2023 in Japan this October. She succeeds last year's titleholder, Rom茅e Dahlen.

Apart from her studies, Madeleine is also a model, aspiring actress, and children's rights advocate.

Her advocacy is focused on education especially for underprivileged children as she believes it will help them from becoming potential victims of human trafficking.

"An enlightened younger generation will be better equipped to recognize dangers, stand up for themselves and others, and resist the temptations that could lead them into a perilous world," written on her official website.

Norway has won the Japan-based Miss International pageant twice with former model Catherine Gude in 1988 and actress Anne Lena Hansen in 1995.
