Miss Indonesia 2017

Nilsen's first pageant was in 2017, when she competed and won the Miss Indonesia national beauty pageant in Jakarta,[24][25] representing her home province West Nusa Tenggara[26][27] [24][28]

The grand finale was held in MNC Studio, Jakarta, Indonesia, on 22 April 2017.[29] Nilsen was crowned by the outgoing titleholder of Miss Indonesia 2016 and the Miss World 2016 2nd Runner-up, Natasha Mannuela Halim of Bangka Belitung.[30][31][32] The president of Miss World organization Julia Morley[33] and Miss World 2016, Stephanie Del Valle of Puerto Rico attended the awarding night.[34][35]

Her final answer on the pageant itself is praised by the current President Joko Widodo:[36]

If chosen as Miss Indonesia, it is my hope to starts working on my Beauty with a Purpose project which benefits villagers still living in extreme poverty. My belief is that by lifting Indonesia out of poverty, we also create equality and we raised our position in the world's eye.[37]

I think one symbol that best represents Indonesia would have to be the Olympic symbol, because there's a variety of colors which i think connects to our diversity, and differences, and all the creativity in Indonesia. But it (the ring on the symbol) also all connected which i believe represents our unity.[42]
