Puteri Indonesia 2022, the 25th edition of the national pageant, is all set to be held in March 2022 as delegates from all over the country will compete for the title and an opportunity to represent Indonesia at Miss Universe 2022. The pageant will also crown the representatives to the upcoming editions of Miss Supranational and Miss International.

For this year’s format, instead of the previous 39, there will be 45 contestants competing for Puteri Indonesia 2022 title as each regional group; Sumatra, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Eastern Indonesia, will have one extra representative decided from the highest public vote.

Indonesia withdrew its participation from Miss Universe 2021. Thus, the country will participate at Miss Universe 2022 after a gap of one year. While the 2022 edition is anticipated to be an exciting celebration, the grand show will also be an entertaining ride hosted by Patricia Gunawan together with Choky Sitohang.

 

 

Patricia Gunawan, often known as Patricia Gouw, is an Indonesian-Chinese model, presenter, and radio personality. She is one of the top 15 contestants in Miss Indonesia 2012, representing the province of Gorontalo. She also competed in the 2012 ASEAN competition and placed first runner-up.

Choky Sitohang is a television presenter and actor from Indonesia. He is well-known for his work as a sports and music host, and he has appeared in films such as Sang Dewi, Suka Ma Suka, and Cinta Tapi Beda.

For this year’s edition, Puteri Indonesia 2020 Raden Roro Ayu Maulida Putri of East Java, Puteri Indonesia Lingkungan 2020 Putu Ayu Saraswati of Bali and Puteri Indonesia Pariwisata 2020 Jihane Almira Chedid of Central Java, will crown their successors at the end of the event. At Miss Universe 2020, Ayu Maulida represented Indonesia and placed in Top 21. Indonesia is yet to pioneer its win at Miss Universe.
