Thecuy.com, Tanjungpinang — Elizabeth Sarwenda, a fifth‑grader from Tanjungpinang, bagged the Mini Miss Grand Model Indonesia 2026 crown at the Grand Model Indonesia (GMI) 2026 gala in Jakarta. The accolade followed a competition and a five‑day boot‑camp style quarantine.
During a chat show Ngobras (Ngobrol Bareng Komunitas) on RRI Tanjungpinang, Elizabeth said she felt both proud and taken aback by her national win. “I was overjoyed, trembling with excitement, and could hardly believe it because the whole ordeal was so tough,” she remarked on Monday, July 13, 2026.
Perjalanan Menuju Gelar Nasional
Elizabeth has been fascinated by fashion shows since she was in second grade. Despite early setbacks, she persisted and kept training until she joined the Yongstar Production modeling school in Batam.
Through the GMI quarantine, Elizabeth gathered plenty of lessons, from learning discipline and boosting self‑esteem to befriending contestants from across the Indonesian archipelago.
Memperkenalkan Identitas Kepulauan Riau
At the event, Elizabeth showcased the cultural identity of Riau Islands by presenting a signature snack, kerupuk gonggong, and wearing a national costume inspired by Masjid Cheng Ho, reflecting her heritage.
Dukungan Orang Tua
Elizabeth credited her parents as her biggest supporters, highlighting how they stood by her throughout the various contests. She hopes her achievement will motivate other kids to pursue their dreams. “Don’t be afraid to try and never give up after a loss. Keep training, be confident, and believe you can realize your dreams,” she concluded.
