# Puteri Indonesia 2024

Puteri Indonesia 2024, the 27th edition of the Puteri Indonesia pageant, was held on 8 March 2024 at the Plenary Hall, Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia. Farhana Nariswari of West Java crowned her successor, Harashta Haifa Zahra of West Java, at the end of the event. This marked the first time a province won back-to-back titles in the pageant's history.
Puteri Indonesia Lingkungan 2023 Yasinta Aurellia of East Java, Puteri Indonesia Pariwisata 2023 Lulu Zaharani of Lampung, and third Runner-Up Dinda Nur Safira of Yogyakarta SR also crowned Sophie Kirana of Yogyakarta SR, Permata Juliastrid of Bali, and Melati Tedja of East Java as Puteri Indonesia Lingkungan 2024, Puteri Indonesia Pariwisata 2024, and Puteri Indonesia Pendidikan and Kebudayaan 2024, respectively.
With Harashta Haifa Zahra and Ketut Permata Juliastrid winning Miss Supranational 2024 and Miss Cosmo 2024 respectively, this has become the most successful Puteri Indonesia batch to date.

## Background
### Location, date and broadcast

It was announced that the coronation night would again be held at the Plenary Hall, Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta on 8 March–coinciding with International Women's Day. The Foundation has met with Maria F. Febryani as Creative Director for PT. Indonesia Entertainment Production (IEP), a subsidiary of the Indonesia Entertainment Group (IEG), indicated that SCTV was to be one of the media partners as well as a television network that has full broadcast rights to broadcast the final night live after consecutive four editions of the event.

### Selection of participants

The first seven contestants were selected through regional competitions held in each organizing province. They were East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi and South Sulawesi. The other 35 contestants were selected by a committee through central auditions held at Graha Mustika Ratu, the organization's headquarters in Jakarta. The selection was supplemented by one delegate per 15 provinces who had been determined their 'Puteri Indonesia Fevorit Daerah', subsequently chosen by viewers through a public vote on the official website. Four winners will have an additional '2' in their regional titles. The organization also provided a two-ticket opportunity for alumni who never reached the top three in previous years, but were eventually transferred for voting.
This edition marked the planned debut of five new provinces which were included in the Eastern Indonesia group due to expansion on 30 June 2022 based on Law No. 16 of 2022. They were the provinces of South Papua, Central Papua, Highland Papua, and Southwest Papua province. This plan was later not implemented because the organization admitted that the administration was not yet complete and the regional government was not ready to send their delegation. This increase in the number of contestants had been planned from the previous two editions, but was not implemented for the same reason. In addition, North Kalimantan did not have a representative this edition.

#### Withdrawals

The representatives of North Maluku and Banten 1, Ratnadila Muhammad Saleh Tuanan Al Faroeq and Giftia Wardani later withdrew due to personal and educational reasons, respectively. For Banten, Latisa Safa Maura was sole representative at this year's edition.
Fitria Helnawati, the representative of West Sumatra, withdrew halfway through the competition due to illness.

Voting was used again in this edition to determine the fourteenth to sixteenth contestants who would advance to the final. Sixteen semifinalists competed in the speech judging, then narrowed down to five and added by one from a second voting. The six finalists then competed in a question and answer and speech competition in which four contestants were selected as finalists.
