Saudi Miss Congeniality 2012

The 3rd annual Saudi Miss Congeniality pageant took place last October 8 at the grand King Abdullah Ballroom in the Eastern province of Qatif. Crowned Maram Zaki al-Saif from Tarout as the ultimate winner beat out other 284 candidates.

From ages ranging from 16 to 24 years old, a delegate’s ethics and good behaviour, their charisma and theatrical performance, confidence and literacy have been taken into consideration for choosing the set of winners, according to Khadra’a Al Mubarak, the executive director.

The top 5 finalists answered 2 main questions confidently: What will the title add to you if you were qualified? What will you add to the title in return?

Aside from her title, Maram also named as the new Saudi “Queen of Ethics” and received 3000 USD as part of her prize package.

Close to the title was the 1st run-up, 17 year old Fatema Abdel Jaleel Al Abad from the Saudi region of Al-Ahsa.

2nd run-up position went to Fatema Saeed Al Baik, a 23 year old beauty from Al Qatif.

Al Saif told the media after her crowning that she will continue to achieve her ambitions and goals, along with inspiring other people especially women to believe in their ability to form a change in the society as a whole. She also reveals her plan to set-up a vocational rehabilitation project for people with special needs that would help them find suitable job opportunities.
