Pageantry

Česká Miss 2014

Nikola once again tried to become a beauty queen again at Česká Miss. But this time, she won the internet votes that gave her the right to earn the title of Blesk Česka Miss Earth 2014.

Miss Earth 2014

"I am grateful to know that beauty of people is connected to nature because, in the end, people and environment are one integrated complex."

—Nikola Buranská's message for Miss Earth.

By winning Miss Earth Czech Republic, Nikola flew to the Philippines in November to compete with almost 100 other candidates to be Alyz Henrich's[6][7] successor as Miss Earth.

As a Miss Earth delegate, an environmental advocacy is must. When she was asked about her advocacy for the pageant, she answered, "For a cleaner and healthier world, I'm willing to give up everything that negatively affects the environment – I personally use public transport, which certainly promotes healthier air in the city where I live." Nikola also added, "Ecological lifestyle means for me regular waste management, use of public transport, limiting the use of household chemicals when cleaning, organic food shopping in specialty stores or at farmers markets."

When she was asked about what to promote in her country, Czech Republic, Nikola answered her country's architecture and history. Nikola also said that Czech Republic is surrounded by "...mountains, nature preserves and national parks." She also mentioned about her people's kind hearts and traditions that they love to show to all people from different walks of life.

At the conclusion of the pageant, she was unplaced. The Miss Earth 2014 title was won by Jamie Herrell of the Philippines.[8][9][10]
