On March 27, 2026, the Vitebsk Concert Hall transformed into a hub of cultural diversity: the grand final of the VII Grazia International Open Competition of National Cultures, Creativity, and Beauty was held here. Participants from different parts of the world proved that talent knows no boundaries, and friendship between nations can be not only strong but also truly beautiful.

Vitebsk State Medical University showcased a powerful delegation for the competition — four prominent representatives of the international youth. They defended the honor of their university with pride.

The delegation included Christabel Yakubu from Nigeria, Harini Srinivasan from India, and two students from Sri Lanka — Piskel Arachige Tarushi Netmi and Manit Sri Gingotage.

The contestants had a busy five-day schedule leading up to the final, which proved to be just as important. Participants took part in photoshoots and masterclasses, familiarized themselves with each other’s traditions, and discovered new cultures through live communication. However, the main challenges awaited them on stage during the decisive evening.

In the final, the audience and a strict jury witnessed a true kaleidoscope of talents. The contestants showcased their oratory skills, presented creative performances, and, of course, amazed everyone with a spectacular fashion show — first in national costumes reflecting the identity of their home countries, and then in elegant evening attire.

Following all stages of the competition, the judging panel announced the winners of the main titles:

• Harini Srinivasan — Miss Grazia International
• Manit Sri Gingotage — Vice-Mr. International
• Kristabel Yakubu — Miss Style
• Piskel Araccige Tarushi Netmi — "Miss Delicious"
