Miss and Mister AIU-2024: inspiration, style, success

On December 9, 2024, the K. Kuanishbayev Kazakh National Drama Theater became the stage for the vibrant and unforgettable event — the “Miss and Mister AIU-2024” contest, organized by the Student Affairs Department of Astana International University. This competition not only brought together creative and talented students but also gifted the audience with a true spectacle of beauty, intellect, and art.

From the very beginning, the audience was immersed in a world of national traditions and elegance. The ethno-defile that opened the contest was a true journey into the rich world of Kazakh culture, where each participant’s look reflected respect for heritage and a creative approach.

In the intellectual round, students dazzled with their erudition and ability to answer the most challenging questions, while the creative segment filled the audience with genuine emotions as they showcased their unique talents. A special moment of the evening was the graceful waltz, where the participants merged in elegant dance steps, and the program concluded with a luxurious evening gown defile, highlighting their charisma and style.

The judging panel, which included the diploma holder of the international “Shabyt” competition, artist of the Presidential Orchestra, and Master of Pedagogical Sciences, Elmira Erkinovna Erezhepova, Miss Astana 2022 Dilyara Zhumabay, the founder of the SEO communication platform BAQ/MEDIA/PR/PRESS SERVICES Aigerim Zhakypsyzy Meirkhanova, and other esteemed experts, closely followed every stage of the contest. Choosing the winners was no easy task, as all the participants demonstrated a high level of preparation, creativity, and individuality.

The highlight of the evening — the announcement of the winners — was a moment filled with joy and pride. The Grand Prix of the contest rightfully went to students of the School of Arts and Humanities — Serikhan Tomiris Timurkyzy and Serikuly Amirali. Their performances embodied the harmony of talent, confidence, and deep respect for traditions.

We sincerely thank all the participants who put their hearts and efforts into their performances, turning the stage into a space for creativity and self-expression. Special thanks go to our guests, partners, and organizers, whose support made this evening truly special.
