Ninh Binh female student crowned Miss Culture Vietnam 2026

The new Miss Culture Vietnam 2026 - Nguyen Tran Ha Linh was born in 2008, 1m76 tall, currently a student at the High School for Educational Sciences under the University of Education - Vietnam National University, Hanoi.

Right from the first rounds, 18-year-old female student Nguyen Tran Ha Linh impressed the judges with her confidence, bravery and outstanding knowledge base. Although she is the youngest contestant of the competition, she shows mature demeanor, clear thinking and progressive spirit.

In the Q&A session, Ha Linh received a question from the judges: "In the era of strong technology and social networks, how can young people still cherish and preserve traditional culture?

Contestant Ha Linh confidently replied: "In the era of technology and strong social networks, young people can completely integrate and preserve national cultural identity. In my opinion, the most important thing is awareness and pride in their roots.

Young people can start from close things such as learning about history, wearing traditional costumes, participating in cultural festivals, or spreading the beautiful values of the nation on social networks by creating positive, modern content but still maintaining the traditional spirit...".

The convincing answers and clear arguments helped Ha Linh conquer the judges and audience, making an important contribution to her winning the title of Miss Culture Vietnam 2026.

Not only outstanding in beauty and stage presence, the 18-year-old female student also possesses an impressive academic record.

In addition, Ha Linh is also an excellent class official, who used to hold the role of Deputy Company Commander of Company 1 in the 2023-2024 school year and actively participated in community activities, typically the HES Open Day volunteer program to support 10th grade entrance exams.

Before entering the highest position at the Miss Culture Vietnam 2026 contest, Nguyen Tran Ha Linh also won the title of Miss HES's Beauty 2025 - Knowledge Beauty, showing the convergence of beauty, intelligence and dedication.
