Miss Guiné-Bissau UK 2026 is bringing together 12 young women of Bissau-Guinean heritage, each with her own story, personality and reasons for taking part in the competition.
The contestants represent different ethnic backgrounds, from Balanta and Fula to Mandjaco, Mandinga, Pepel and Mankanhi, while their lives outside pageantry are just as varied. Among them are an aspiring entrepreneur, a former school athlete, a trained guitarist, a content lover and a woman who happens to be one of 10 siblings.
The grand finale will take place on 24th October 2026 at AUGB Manchester, where the contestants will compete for the Miss Guiné-Bissau UK 2026 crown. The competition also creates a space for them to celebrate their Bissau-Guinean heritage and connect with their community.
