Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 crown costs only 24 million VND, what does the head of the contest's organizing committee say?

Recently, the Miss Universe Vietnam Organizing Committee held a press conference to announce the value of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 crown, the schedule and criteria of this year's contest. Notably, Pharmacist Tien - the official representative of the manufacturer launched the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 crown design contest with the message: "Thousand dollar crown, million dollar mission".

Accordingly, the value of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 crown is only 24 million VND while the "million dollar mission" that the new Miss will do is to build 10 new schools across the country.

"No matter how expensive the crown is, it is only a piece of jewelry for one person, enhancing the beauty of the person wearing it. However, the role of a beauty queen is not simply to beautify herself, but also what she does for the community and society. Therefore, the crown that truly makes the beauty queen shine is her mission to the community. The more powerful weapon for that girl to compete is what she has done, is doing and will do for everyone." Representative of the manufacturer, Pharmacist Tien said.

The producer's representative also emphasized that when beauties step out to "fight" in international beauty contests, "no one will compare which Miss crown is more expensive to give points." Previously, the contest's organizers announced that the new Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 will receive a cash prize of 2 billion VND.

The surprising news that the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 crown is worth 24 million VND has stirred up the beauty community. In addition to the opinions supporting the producer's representative's viewpoint of "not following trends", "having practical school building activities"..., many people think that Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 downplays the winner's achievements. "Everyone who competes hopes to touch the prestigious crown first. That is also the girls' motivation, but the contest organizers announcing the crown for 24 million VND is too cruel" , commented Facebooker PK.

"In addition to Miss Universe Vietnam, other beauty pageants also carry out many large-scale charitable activities, but they still award a "million-dollar" crown worthy of the contest, not lowering the real value of the crown to honor charitable activities like the way the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Organizing Committee did," Facebooker N.D.TN expressed.

In response to mixed opinions from the beauty-loving community, Ms. Thuy Nga - Head of the Miss Universe Vietnam Organizing Committee affirmed to PV Dan Viet that she shares the same opinion with the producer Pharmacist Tien. "The project to build at least 10 schools for children in the highlands will be jointly donated by the Organizing Committee and the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 contestants in many forms, or the decision to only design a new crown with a value of only 24 million VND, because we clearly understand that the value of a Miss does not lie in how much money the beauty wears on her head, but in the value of the girl herself, what she and the Organizing Committee of the contest will contribute to society and the community.

Up to now, the thing I feel most fortunate is that I have worked with partners who are not only smart but also understand each other in work, respect each other and always want to contribute to the community the best things we can do. And perhaps because of that, we almost all have the same ideas in building the script or easily agree with each other in every decision, never having to argue with each other.

All of that always gives me the passion to work with the team to build Miss Universe Vietnam not only as a prestigious contest but also to contribute the best things to society."

According to the Miss Universe Vietnam Organizing Committee, this year's contest will find 1 Miss and 4 Runners-up. The producer's representative also said that there are no mandatory educational standards for Miss. "Why is there a mandatory educational standard for someone who wants to do a charity project on promoting education? We ensure the State's regulations on the minimum educational level of contestants participating in Miss Universe Vietnam 2024. But whether those girls have a university degree or not is not necessarily an important factor for us. Even if they drop out of school, the opportunity to come to this beauty arena will bring that girl to university and support many other girls," said Pharmacist Tien.
