Viet Nam kicked off its preparation campaign yesterday for the 2009 Mrs World Pageant, which will feature married beauties across the world competing in the annual contest.

Organisers of the international pageant, which will take place in the coastal province of Vung Tau in November, have publicised detailed plans of the contest.

The Mrs Viet Nam Pageant will be held two months before the international event.

The first Mrs Viet Nam Pageant held in the country will select two outstanding and stunning candidates, the winner and the runner-up, from successful women nationwide to represent Viet Nam in the global competition.

Similar to other beauty contests, there will be compulsory competition rounds in traditional costumes, swimsuits, question-and-answer sessions and eveningwear.

Candidates in the Mrs Viet Nam Pageant will also take part in an additional competition highlighting their charity work.

The most beautiful winner of the contest’s Vietnamese version will receive a VND150 million (US$ 8,823) award and owner of the second position will receive a VND 100 million-prize
($ 5,882).

Both will then join 100 other married beauties to compete for the title of top world married beauty queen.

The final round of Mrs World Pageant will take place on November 22 in Vung Tau City and will be broadcast live on the Star World network.

It is expected that more than 500 million people around the world will watch the event.

Like Miss World and Miss Universe, Viet Nam targets turning this international beauty contest into a charming introduction to its tourism potential to viewers worldwide.

The Viet Nam Women’s Association is the latest group to join the event’s organisers.
