10 Miss South Africa 2026 video entries that have captured our attention

Miss South Africa 2026 entries opened on 28 April and will officially close on 17 May — a window that has turned social media timelines into a constant stream of ambition, hope and possibility.

The call for video submission is inviting women from every corner of the country to step into the spotlight. Following 2025's updated and more inclusive criteria, including an increased age limit and the removal of height and weight restrictions, the competition signals a shift towards a broader, more expansive definition of beauty. The crown, more than ever, feels open.

Over the past few weeks, hopefuls have taken to social media to share their entries, proudly representing the richness of South Africa’s cultural and linguistic diversity. What’s been most striking is the passion behind each submission. These are women with purpose, leaders, dreamers, and changemakers who view Miss South Africa not as a destination, but as a platform to expand the work they’ve already begun.

As the entry is coming to close, we’ve had the chance to review dozens of inspiring videos. Some stood out not for their polish or production value, but for their authenticity, the clarity of their mission, the strength of their voice, and the sincerity of their desire to create lasting impact. These are the entries that remind us what the Miss South Africa title is truly about: empowering women to lead, influence, and uplift 

Below, we’ve curated a few of our favourite submissions, each one a glimpse into the heart of a future queen.
