Melanie Mader has been appointed the new Miss Earth Austria 2018. She will be representing Austria at Miss Earth 2018 to be held on 3rd November 2018 in the Philippines where the winner will be crowned by Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco.
Melanie succeeds Miss Earth Austria 2017 Bianca Kronsteiner. She remained unplaced in Miss Earth 2017, where she went as Austria’s delegate.
Melanie has a Filipino background and is no stranger to the pageant world as she once represented her community in Austria in Miss Earth Philippines 2016 where she was the fourth runner-up titled Miss Earth Philippines Eco Tourism 2016 and won the special award of Best Evening Gown. Melanie was then upgraded to the position of Miss Earth Philippines Water 2016 after Miss Philippines Air 2016 Kiara Giel Gregorio resigned from her title. Melanie Mader was also 1st runner-up in Miss Filipino Austria 2015.
From the city of Vienna, Austria, Melanie is 26 years of age and is very passionate about travelling. She also goes for book readings in schools and is very committed to the issue of unavailability of water. She believes that water should never have to be a privilege for some; it should be assessable to all.
Since the commencement of Miss Earth, Austria is yet to win the prestigious crown of Miss Earth. We wish Melanie all the very best!
