There were also awards for Miss Photogenic, Miss Talented, Miss Ao Dai, Miss Bikini, Miss Fashion, Miss Beautiful Face, Miss Charming and Miss Friendly at the event, with prizes of 20 million VND (897 USD) each.

The biannual contest distinguished itself from other beauty pageants by selecting young Vietnamese women who are studying, working and living in Vietnam or around the world and who possess the beauty, wisdom, talent and compassion.
