VietNamNet Bridge – A Beauty Contest in the Land of Tea will be held in the northern province of Thai Nguyen in the framework of the first International Tea Festival taking place on November 5-15.

The contest will apply similar regulations to Miss Viet Nam, but support contestants only from cities and provinces where tea is grown and traded.

The candidates will participate in ao dai (traditional robe) and swimsuit displays, and express their knowledge of tea culture and the tea regions. The organising board will also present prizes for the contestant who brews tea most excellently and who picks tea leaves most quickly.

The winner will be responsible for social work and promoting Vietnamese tea products and culture.
