Although it is not used to decide between the candidates, the general knowledge test is an important step in the journey of the regional Misses.
Miss Picardie, Miss Guadeloupe and Miss Auvergne are the three candidates for the Miss France election to have obtained the best results in the general knowledge test last week.
Marina Przadka, Miss Picardie, the only candidate to have had 10/10 in the logic tests, won a 15.5/20 and first place. Followed by Moïra André (Miss Guadeloupe), with a score of 13.5/20 and Romane Agostinho (Miss Auvergne), 12.5/20.
Marina Przadka, aged 26, holds a BTS in international commerce and graduated with a master's degree in Business and Management from ESSEC. First elected Miss Oise, she was named Miss Picardie on October 20.
2024 Olympics and COP29
This general knowledge test, which offers a brief insight to the highest-scoring candidates, does not guarantee a place in the top 15. Thus, last year, Miss Alsace, who had the highest score in this test, was not not among the 15 finalists.
This selection is made by a jury, made up of around ten members from the Miss France committee or TF1, during an interview. Eloquence, motivation and presence in an evening dress and swimsuit are evaluated. The result of the general knowledge test also comes into play.
The organizers of the competition, however, take this test very seriously, and consider that candidates must have good general knowledge and master spelling.
After a few days in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, the candidates returned to France, for the continuation of their preparation, in view of December 14, the day of the election. The ceremony will take place this year at Futuroscope in Poitiers.
This year, the candidates had to answer several questions about the Olympic Games, but also about the presidency of the European Union, COP29 and even the election of Donald Trump. Part of the test covered logic and spelling questions and the rest covered knowledge of current events and history.
