This year’s Miss Indonesia pageant was a prolonged affair with performances from six different singing acts between various segments of the program.

Contestants were narrowed down to 10 finalists at the start of the show. The finalists proceeded to answer a series of questions chosen from a glass bowl onstage. Some were thrown relatively soft questions, such as the meaning of smiling or their personal definition of “sexy,” while others received more difficult questions on social issues like teen pregnancy and modernity within the Indonesian archipelago.

Ten contestants soon became five, and another round of questions cut the competition down to Kamidia, Verna and Ary. The final three contestants were all asked the same question, which regarded the loss of cultural assets in Indonesia. Kamidia suggested a weekly tradition for Indonesians to wear different traditional dress, such as kebaya and batik, to keep cultural ties alive.

Three smaller titles were awarded among the other 30 contestants. Dian Ayu Lestari of Maluku was named Miss Persahabatan, or Miss Friendship.
