Earth warrior from North Shore was hailed as this year's Miss Earth New Zealand on April 14, 2018, at the Waipuna Hotel. The 22-year-old actress Jzayla Hughey outshined 6 other beauties and succeeded last year's winner Abby Sturgin. Jzayla, who was 3rd runner-up at 2017's Miss Auckland,
will represent New Zealand at the Miss Earth 2018 competition.
Well it is still all sinking in! What an absolute joy of a night Miss Earth New Zealand was. I am so excited for this new wonderful chapter and journey as your Miss Earth New Zealand 2018. I am so honoured to have also been awarded Best in Talent and Best in Environmental Video!
THANK YOU to the amazing mentors Namphon Bennett , Rachel Harradence , Sarah Anderson, Abby Sturgin and Rohaibie Rennie for your endless effort, support and guidance. Thanks to the entire behind the scenes team and crew for bringing our pre judging and the Grand Finale to life🌿
✨To all the beautiful Miss Earth contestants, I am SO PROUD of each of you. CONGRATULATIONS on getting out there and being your true selves. I could not stop smiling watching you all shine on stage last night. We have built great friendships for the rest of our lives.

A HUGE THANK YOU to my incredibly supportive family and friends ! You are the best cheer squad I could ever ask for. I would not be here without you all.
