History

[edit]
Miss Vietnam 2012

Miss Vietnam is the biggest beauty pageant and the first nationwide beauty contest after the reunification of Vietnam. Before that, there was also a South Vietnamese Saigon-based beauty contest named Cuộc thi tìm kiếm người đẹp tại Sài Gòn (lit.'Beauty Contest in Saigon'). In 1955, Công Thị Nghĩa became the first titleholder of the contest as well as the first national beauty pageant titleholder in Vietnamese history.[2] In 1965, the title was held with the coronation of Thái Kim Hương.[3]

The after-unification contest Miss Vietnam was initiated and organized by Tiền Phong a daily newspaper published by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the youth wing of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Initially the contest was called "Miss National Tiền Phong Newspaper", starting from 1988 and is held every two years, the contest was officially renamed as "Miss Vietnam" in 2002. The first person to hold the title is Bùi Bích Phương.[4] The pageant was created with the purpose of finding women with good morals, knowledge and representing the image of Vietnamese women.[5]

During the period from 1988 to 2000, beauty queens did not participate in international beauty contests.[6] In 2002, they were sent to participate in Miss World.[7] However, from 2008 to 2014, due to many issues surrounding the beauty queens, they could not attend Miss World.[8]

From 2016 to 2020, they continued to participate in Miss World.[9] Starting from 2022, Miss Vietnam will attend Miss International,[10] Miss Vietnam 2022 Huỳnh Thị Thanh Thủy represented the country at Miss International 2024 and won the first title for Vietnam.

Broadcast

[edit]

The beauty pageant has been broadcast on Vietnam Television (VTV) since 1998. From 19982008 and 2012present, the contest was broadcast live on VTV1, VTV2, VTV3 and VTV9.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Due to some bad reputation before, Ky Duyen was not allowed to attend Miss World 2014, instead Nguyen Thi Loan was chosen.
  2. ^ Because Miss Vietnam 2012 Dang Thu Thao refused to participate in the Miss World 2012 and Miss World 2014 contests instead of Miss Ky Duyen. Therefore, Miss World 2012 was attended by the first runner-up of Miss Vietnam 2010, Hoang My, instead.
  3. ^ Miss Ngoc Han twice refused to participate in Miss World 2010 and 2011 for personal reasons.
  4. ^ According to the rules of the Miss Vietnam contest, participants must have a high school diploma, but Miss Thuy Dung did not have one, so she seriously violated the rules and was stripped of her right to participate in Miss World.
  5. ^ Miss Vietnam 2018, 2nd Runner-Up Thuy An refused to participate in Miss International 2018 and was replaced by Thuy Tien, who had the highest score in the top 5. Thuy An then participated in Miss Intercontinental.
