HA NOI (VNS) — Model and entertainer Ho Ngoc Ha will represent Viet Nam at the MTV Europe Music Awards' Best World-Wide Act category.

Ha beat four strong contenders, a group comprising emerging and senior singers from Viet Nam's entertainment world.

Ha now must move onto new rounds of competition, including the Southeast Asian and Asian rounds, before she makes it to the final MTV awards.

Ha, a model-turned-entertainer, hit the spotlight when she won first prize in Viet Nam's 2003 and 2004 national super-model contest. Since then, she has worked as an actress and singer.

Last year, singer My Tam grabbed the Best Southeast Asia Act for Viet Nam. — VNS
