In the next 10 days, contestants will join training sections, photo shoots and activities to promote tourism development in the central coastal city of Quy Nhon, said Pham Kim Dung, deputy head of the contest’s board of organisers.

The semi-final night is scheduled to be held on June 23 at FLC Quy Nhon Beach & Golf Resort and will be broadcast live on Vietnam Television, Dung said at a press meeting held on June 12 in HCM City.

The board of judges includes Duong Trung Quoc, a renowned historian; poet and journalist Tran Huu Viet; designer Le Thanh Hoa; Miss Vietnam 1988 Bui Bich Phuong; Miss Vietnam 1992 Ha Kieu Anh; and Miss Vietnam 2016 Do My Linh.

To mark 30 years of the contest, for the first time in the history of the Miss Vietnam pageant, three winners of the pageant crown will be members of the judge board.

Forty contestants from the semi-final rounds in the south and the north will be chosen for the national final round.

The final round will be held on September 16 at Phu Tho Stadium in HCM City.
