15 northern girls qualified for Miss Vietnam 2008 Beauty Contests

Fifteen beautiful girls from the North of the country will be taking part in the final round of the 2008 Miss Vietnam beauty contest being held in Hoi An ancient town from August 19-31.

They were chosen from 40 competitors, mainly coming from universities, colleges and high schools in the Northern area, who wore the ao dai (traditional long dress), swimsuits and free-style dresses events in Hanoi on August 8-9.

The port city of Hai Phong, which is the home of many former Miss Vietnams, does not have any representatives in the final round at this year’s event.

The Organising Committee will select the remaining finalists from the South in Ho Chi Minh City on August 11-12.

The Miss Vietnam pageant, first held in 1988, is the country’s most prestigious biannual beauty contest organised by the Tien Phong (Vanguard) newspaper.
