The Miss Nederland election returns in July 2026. The new organizer, Miss Beauty Group, sees the restart as a way to give a modern interpretation to the election. Everyone can register, “regardless of form, size, background or experience”.
The previous organizer, Miss Nederland, deposited the prize lit last year. According to the then owner Monica van Ee, the organization scraped the election due to, among other things, the “negative energy” online.
Milou Verhoeks, founder and director of Miss Beauty Group, acknowledges that a new interpretation is needed. “The world has changed. We go along with what time wishes,” she says to the ANP news agency.
According to Verhoeks, the “old form” is indeed no longer of this time. “But there is certainly enthusiasm to participate,” she says. That is why Miss Beauty Group relaxes the guidelines for the participants. The organization thus follows the example of the global beauty match Miss Universe.
The 2026 edition has no age limits and everyone can register for it. Before the election, people usually report to themselves who identify themselves as ‘Miss’. But according to Verhoeks, everyone is welcome “who wants to be a role model and is ambitious”. Also in the traditional bikini round, participants can now dress in something that they feel comfortable with.
For the first time since 2012, the provincial pre -elections are also returning. They start this year.
