Nadine Roberts (born August 20, 1994) is an Australian beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned as Miss Earth Australia 2014 after the initial winner Dayanna Grageda was dethroned.[1] Nadine initially placed third runner up and received the title of Miss Earth Australia – Fire, at the Miss Earth Australia 2014 event held at the Sydney Town Hall on September 14. Two weeks later, the original winner Dayanna Grageda was dethroned by then director Roselyn Singh, Nadine was then crowned as the replacement Miss Earth Australia 2014.[2]

Pageantry

Miss Earth Australia 2013

Nadine joined the 2013 edition of Miss Earth Australia. She placed as the Miss Earth Australia - Air or the equivalent of third runner up. The edition won by Renera Thompson.[3] Renera competed in Miss Earth 2013 but went unplaced.[4]

Miss Earth Australia 2014

Nadine once again joined the Miss Earth pageant for Australia. She was still able to place with an elemental crown and thus, becoming the Miss Earth Australia-Fire 2014, following her predecessor, the pageant was won by Dayanna Grageda.[5]

Dayanna’s elemental court, aside from Nadine as Miss Earth Australia - Fire, is made up of first runner up Miss Air Australia and second runner up Miss Water Australia Chelsea Lewis.[6]

However, it was only 2 weeks after the National finals, when the Miss Earth Australia organisation dethroned Dayanna from her title for not fulfilling her duties. After the first and second runners up were unavailable to fulfil the role of Miss Earth Australia 2014, Nadine was replaced as the new Miss Earth Australia 2014 by the national organization to be Australia's representative for Miss Earth.[7]

Miss Earth 2014

"I acknowledge that as a Woman of the Earth, I am a voice for our Mother Earth and its creatures."

—Nadine Roberts' message for Miss Earth.

By accepting the Miss Earth Australia title, Nadine flew to the Philippines in November to compete with almost 100 other candidates to be Alyz Henrich's[8][9] successor as Miss Earth. Nadine was unplaced[10]

When she was asked about her advocacy for the pageant, she replied by saying that she wants "...to raise more awareness, educate, inspire and encourage greater involvement of our communities and leaders." Because to her, to work as one, the "preservation, protection and sustainability of mother earth" will be ensured. She also adds, "I pledge to work in togetherness with global initiatives, leading by example to raise social conscience. Step by step, little by little, we can transform the thinking, encourage buy-in and work together for a healthier world and forge to achieve a sustainable future."

After Miss Earth 2014

Since competing in the Miss Earth 2014 international competition, Roberts has continued with her role as Miss Earth Australia visiting public schools in Australia where she has been teaching young children the importance of protection and preservation of the environment. Roberts has recently returned from Egypt where she promoted the theme of Eco-tourism throughout Egypt along with seven other selected Miss Earth delegates from the Miss Earth 2014 competition.
