Polina Kuleshova — Official Participant of The Continental Pageants Europe® 2025

I’m Polina — a model, concert host, singer from Vienna the city of music, grand balls and charming cobblestone streets, where the echoes of Mozart, Strauss, and Falco still linger in the air. Austria is more than alpine landscapes — it’s a vibrant cultural scene, and I’ve been lucky to grow up and create.

Since a young age, I’ve been performing on Austria’s stages: multiple times winning prizes in renowned vocal competitions and, in 2024, taking first place in “Falco goes School”. It was Falco himself — the first and still the only German-speaking artist to top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with his hit “Rock Me Amadeus” — who has inspired me to step into the spotlight and speak to the world through the language of music. After the competition, the agency Kosmata Concerts offered me the chance to record and release an original song, with future airplay on Austrian radio — a significant step toward my debut album.

But my world extends far beyond the stage. I stay active and grounded through alpine skiing, tennis, and my lifelong love of horseback riding.
To me, being a modern woman means being many things at once — creative, driven, compassionate. I sing, write music, work as a concert host. Recently I made my modeling debut and had the incredible honor of opening Fashion Week Málaga, representing Austria among Europe’s brightest talents.

I’m passionate about psychology, kinesics — the science of body language, and using my voice not just to sing, but to speak up for others. That’s why I’m launching “Anti-Bullying Austria” an initiative to support students, especially those who’ve relocated and feel alone. As someone who experienced bullying after relocating as a child, I know how isolating it can be. Through mentorships, creative workshops and a digital platform we aim to build a safe, supportive community where young people feel seen, heard and empowered.

I don’t claim to be perfect but I know how to listen and be empathetic, connect and stand for what matters. And if my voice helps someone believe in themselves then I know I’m doing the right thing. 
To me, this competition is more than a title. It’s a chance to show that beauty isn’t just about appearance, it’s also about purpose. It’s about using this platform to inspire change and make our world a better place.

By voting for me, you support kindness over cruelty, connection over isolation and the belief that a voice used with heart and care speaks louder than any slogan. It can make a real difference!
