Miss Vietnam national beauty contest to kick off on July 9
Miss Vietnam 2016, the biennial national beauty contest, will kick off with qualifying rounds in July and the final round will be held on August 27 in HCM City.
The organising board of Miss Vietnam 2016 held a press conference on July 5 in Hanoi to unveil the qualifying rounds in July and the final round scheduled to be organised on August 27 in HCM City.
The press conference also announced features of the crown of Miss Vietnam 2016 worth 2.2 billion VND, which was handcrafted from 63 pearls, which represent the country’s 63 cities and provinces, and 3,260 sapphires, which symbolise the national 3,260 km-long coast, by 40 artisans over three months.
The crown design was inspired by the prosperous and vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, which was once called the “Pearl of the Orient”.
Le Xuan Son, editor of Tien Phong newspaper - head of the organising board said, more than 1,000 crown hopefuls have registered for Miss Viet Nam 2016.
The northern qualifying round, where 140 selected local contestants will compete, is scheduled to take place in Hanoi on July 9.
The round will choose 40 best contestants in the region’s semi-final round in Quang Ninh on July 11.
Finalists selected from both the North and the South will vie for the crown in August. Each of them will be entrusted with a charity project, which they need to present to the jurors before implementing it.
The entire process will be filmed and broadcast on various TV channels so that the public, too, can judge the contestants, together with the official jury.
According to the organisers, in addition to other traditional awards, a new award – Humanity Beauty – will be given to the contestant who comes up with the best charity project. The kind-hearted winner will be exceptionally promoted to the top five finalists.
This year’s winners will take home even bigger cash prizes.
Miss Vietnam will walk away with 500 million VND; first runner-up, 300 million VND while the second runner-up will bag 200 million VND.
After 30 years and 14 editions, Miss Viet Nam has emerged as one of the most prestigious national beauty contests that celebrates Vietnamese women’s beauty, appearance, spirit, lifestyle and talent.
The judges of Miss Viet Nam 2016 include Historian Duong Trung Quoc, a poet Huu Viet and Miss Vietnam 2012 Dang Thu Thao.
