Special awards

Best TalentSharolyn Schmidt, United States

Sharolyn Schmidt of the United States. In Miami she won Best Talent on the piano. In Papeete the piano did not arrive, so she yodelled. The panel scored the yodelling three-tenths of a point lower than the piano, and still higher than anyone else.

PhotogenicParvati Mukherjee, India

Parvati Mukherjee of India, chosen from 2,400 photographs of 121 delegates. She has asked to see the other 2,399.

CongenialityMariana Lara, Colombia

Mariana Lara of Colombia, chosen by her fellow delegates with 16 votes of 121. The pageant thanks the other 105 for their honesty.

Best National CostumeDiana Tavera, Mexico

Diana Tavera of Mexico, for Tehuana, which she sewed herself. She also sewed three other delegates' costumes. None of them placed.

The final interview

The panel asked the top five one question: How should we measure success?

4th runner-up · 7.50Parvati Mukherjee, India
I would say two tablespoons, but I am a generous pourer. In cups, and I always level the flour with a knife. Thank you. I will now stop, as my index card says STOP in pen.
3rd runner-up · 8.30Sharolyn Schmidt, United States
Success is not money. It is the friends we made along the way. Measure? I am five foot nine in these, five foot six barefoot. I am just happy to be here. Here is a nice place.
2nd runner-up · 9.00Isla Maclennan, New Zealand
By how many people cry at your funeral. Happy tears, mostly. Nobody on their deathbed asks to see their quarterly numbers. Thank you. If this is the end, I will need someone to tell me.
1st runner-up · 8.20Mariana Lara, Colombia
Bust, waist and hips, and I was told not to breathe in. I count hugs per week. Last week was four, and two were from my dentist. I will take questions later, mostly about where the exits are.
Winner · 9.30Alma Ignacio, Philippines
Metrically. Imperial success is confusing and nobody uses it. Success is being at peace with yourself. I am at peace. Observe. Thank you. I will now walk away slowly so it looks on purpose.
