Elena Wiesmayr — Official Participant of The Continental Pageants Europe® 2026

Hello everyone,

My name is Elena Wiesmayr I am 45 years old, and I am proud to represent Austria at the Continental Pageant 2026.

I was born and raised in Ukraine, in the city of Zaporizhzhia. For more than seven years now, I have been living in Austria — a country that has truly become my second home, following my heart.

The most important thing in my life is my family. I have a loving and caring husband who is my greatest support, my protector, and my best friend.

For 11 years, I have been a proud mother to a wonderful daughter. She is my biggest motivation to grow, to become better every day, and to lead by example.

We are also blessed to have my mother living with us — a source of unconditional love and warmth.

For me, home is a place of strength, harmony, and inspiration.

In my daily life, I balance family, my office work, my creativity, and my service in the Order of Saint Lazarus.

For over 20 years, I have been creating handmade toys. It all started with Tilda dolls, and for the past five years I have been designing collectible teddy bears and other unique pieces.

I feel truly happy to bring people back to their childhood, creating moments of joy and heartfelt emotions.

At my workshops, I not only share my skills, but also inspire others to discover and develop their creative potential. For me, this is not just a hobby — it is a form of healing therapy. During the most difficult times in my life, creativity helped me stay emotionally balanced and not lose myself.

There was a challenging period in my life when I experienced an abusive relationship. But I found the strength to overcome it, to protect myself and my child, and eventually to find true happiness and harmony.

After everything I have been through, I know for sure: nothing is impossible when your heart is filled with faith, hope, and love.

That is why this pageant is not just a stage for me — it is a platform where I can share my story, inspire, support, and empower other women.

And through my example, I want to show that it is never too late to become the queen of your own destiny.
