This Eurovision hopeful is competing at Miss Universe 2026 for Iceland

Sigga Ózk who attempted to represent Iceland at Eurovision multiple times, will now represent the nation at Miss Universe 2026.

The singer competed in Iceland's national selection show Söngvakeppnin in 2023 and 2024.

She made the final on both occasions and was quite the fan favourite.

In 2023, she finished 5th behind Diljá with Dancing Lonely.

She returned the following year with Into the Atmosphere finishing 3rd behind Hera Björk.

That song would finish at No.112 on the Aussievision National Final Countdown of 2024.

She has since turned her attention to the Miss Universe pageant, first winning Miss Hafravatn to earn her chance at the national final.

Sigga went on to win Ungfrú Ísland (which translates to Miss Iceland) to earn her spot at Miss Universe 2026.

She took to Instagram to share her delight:

"Thank you so much!!! Wow I'm speechless," she said.

"I'm so grateful for all the girls in the group, the girls on the team, the judges and EVERYONE who encouraged me. It was an amazing life experience in every way…NOW LET'S GO MISS UNIVERSE 2026."

Among those to congratulate her were 2023 Eurovision artist Alessandra from Norway and her fellow Söngvakeppnin contestant Diljá.

She will now compete at Miss Universe to be held in Puerto Rico in November.
