The final of the annual citywide "Miss and Mister Moscow Student" competition took place on January 21st as part of Russian Student Day. The event took place on the stage of the Moskva Concert Hall, where 20 finalists from 17 Moscow universities performed. Following the event, the winners were announced.
The competition aims to support talented and active students, promote student creativity and sports, preserve cultural traditions, and develop and strengthen social, public, and cultural ties among Moscow's youth.
"Moscow is a city where every student can not only express themselves, but also find real support, develop, and participate in meaningful projects. 'Miss and Mister Moscow Students' is not only a platform for self-expression but also an important step in building a career, developing leadership skills, and strengthening the student community. Moscow gives every student the opportunity not only to prove themselves but to become ambassadors of the capital's community—bright, competent, and socially engaged," she noted.
Ekaterina Dragunova, Chairman of the Committee for Public Relations and Youth Policy of the City of Moscow.
Following the competition, the title of "Miss Student Moscow" was won by Ksenia Shalaeva from the Russian State Social University, and the title of "Mr. Student Moscow" was awarded to Gleb Kalimulin from the Russian University of Medicine.
This year, over 60 Moscow universities and over 100 students participated in the qualifying round, each presenting a creative performance. Twenty young men and women each advanced to the semifinals, and to advance to the finals, the contestants had to overcome five challenges: intellectual, culinary, athletic, creative, and dance.
Ultimately, only the top 20 students made it to the final round. Throughout the competition, the finalists participated in photo shoots and filming, attended rehearsals, and creative workshops.
The final stage took the form of a gala concert, which transformed into a true story about Moscow. The audience witnessed a show where the city became a grand stage, giving everyone a chance to express themselves. The creative youth embodied the energy of the metropolis—its rhythm, aspirations, and hopes. All numbers were performed to live music.
The stage served as a metaphorical representation of Moscow's streets: streetlights acted as spotlights, and skyscraper windows became video cameras. A clock became a symbol of the city's dynamic life: the participants were given just 24 hours to unleash their potential.
The contestants were judged by a star-studded jury, making their decisions in real time. The winners received valuable prizes and the right to represent Moscow at the federal stage of the "Miss and Mister Student Russia" competition.
