ThanhNien News, 02-Jan-2009There will be only one national beauty contest a year in Vietnam and contestants must have completed high school at the very least, under new regulations issued this week by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
The winner of the national beauty contest will be the only one with the “Miss” honorific, the ministry says, adding that multiple “Miss” titles have caused confusion in the country.
Under the new rules, only Vietnamese women of at least 18 years of age with a clean police record, having finished high school education and not undergone cosmetic surgeries or sex changes are eligible to compete in beauty contests. Beside the national contest, only one local beauty contest can be approved a year, the regulations say.
Also, an agency can only organize one contest at the most in two years, and it has to publicize its rules and conditions within 10 days of getting approval. It will also have to give away the awards on the final night itself, and strip titles off any winner found violating the contest’s regulations.Miss Vietnam 2008 Tran Thi Thuy Dung stirred public outrage last year after she was found not to have graduated from high school, one of the pageant’s entry requirements. She was barred from competing in the Miss World 2008 pageant in South Africa last December, but has not been dethroned so far.
