CHINESE PAGEANT PAGE'S PRE-ARRIVAL PICKS:
1 / VANCOUVER - Jennifer Coosemans resembles Miss HK/Miss Chinese Int'l 1988 Michele Reis in certain angles and is perhaps the most delegate to grace the pageant since Michele. Jennifer is the top contender for the crown. If a Miss Photogenic award were to be given out this year, Jennifer is a shoo-in.
2 / HONG KONG - Louisa is very eloquent and intelligent, plus she has the hometown advantage.
First and Second Place will be between these two, but then again it is still early in the game. Other favorites include Auckland, Los Angeles, Melbourne

After 4 phases of competition which included self introduction in cheongsams, talent performance, form & fitness and
Q&A in evening gowns combined with interviews prior to pageant night, #10 Dawn Cheung was crowned Miss Chinese Seattle Queen
for 2015. Dawn also bagged the Miss Congeniality award. For her talent Dawn displayed her Chinese calligraphy skills explaining the
meaning of her Chinese name. 1st Princess was #5 Olivia Ding whose talent was a self choreographed martial arts routine which ended with chopping
a wooden block in half. She attempted 4 times before breaking it on the 5th try, talk about perseverance! 2nd Princess was #8 Lucy Meng who performed
a beautiful opera number. Miss Talent went to #1 Jessica Lee who had a large cheering audience (only surpassed by #10 Dawn Cheung). Miss Spirit
went to #4 Sarah Liu who sold the most number of tickets.
There were special performances by former 1st Princess Lele Tian who performed "Do Something" (Britney Spears) and former Miss Chinatown USA Leah Li

The show was very fast paced and entertaining, I recommend anyone in the Seattle area to go see the pageant

During her farewell speech, the 2013 queen Ka Man Lee said she grew up watching the Miss Chinese International pageant and had always hoped one
day she could be a contestant in the pageant and that she has realized her dream and she will be competing at the 2016 Miss Chinese International pageant

2015 MISS CHINATOWN HAWAII FESTIVAL WINNERS CROWNED!
Stephanie Wang crowned Miss Chinatown Hawaii

華埠小姐競選冠軍出爐
王慧媛獲得冠軍
The winners were crowned on Sept. 6 at the historic Hawaii Theatre. The newly crowned Miss Chinatown Hawaii is the stunning 22 year-oldl Stephanie Wang and Miss Hawaii Chinese is Lindsay Mau, 20. Stephanie also took home the Miss Congeniality award and will compete at Miss Hawaii (Miss America system) and Lindsay will compete at Miss Chinatown USA 2015.
The 2014 Miss Hong Kong pageant came to a conclusion on Aug. 31. In the end #15 Veronica Shiu was crowned the winner. Veronica won the Miss Friendship award before the semi-final and also edged out #3 Linna Huynh by 1 vote to win the Miss Photogenic Award on Finals night. After the Finalists came out in swimsuits (which featured really cool slow-motion videos of the contestants in the backdrop), Q&A and various rounds, including an ice-skating in gown (Veronica was the only one that looked comfortable on the ice), the judges selected #7 Katherine Ho, #9 Erin Wong and #15 Veronica Shiu as the Top 3. The home audience/viewers then got to vote for the final placements of the Top 3. It came as a surprise to many including the hosts DoDo Cheng, Wong Cho Nam, Nat Chan, Eric Tsang that #3 Linna and #11 Sofiee did not make the cut as they were favorites. To be honest, favorite #11 Sofiee had an average performance. #3 Linna had a good performance, definitely improved a lot since Semi-final. The night, however, truly belonged to Veronica who shined in every aspect. I still think the Top 3 should have been #3, #11, #15 although #7 also had a good performance. I was surprised that #9 Erin Wong got 1st Runner-up, she even got many 'dislikes' in the Top 3 round voted by the audience, whereas Katherine and Veronica both got many 'likes'. There was no Top 5 this year and also for the first time the winner also bagged Miss Friendship & Miss Photogenic. Grace Wong came close in 2007 when she won those awards and came in 2nd.

The Top 10 Finalists have been selected after the viewers and judging panel got to each eliminate 3 of the Semi-finalists. The 10 Finalists are:
#1 Jan Tse, #3 Linna Huynh, #5 CK Leung, #6 Yammi Lam, #7 Katherine Ho
The night opened with the contestants in their wedding gown photoshoot in Japan and self introductions explaining how they each got their name. The girls each came out and talked more about themselves in the 2nd round and 3rd round was swimsuits, then came the announcement of the Finalists. It was surprising to see #2 Rosina get eliminated, perhaps it was from the viewer voting?
Two awards have been handed out prior to the Semi-final. The first is the Tourism Ambassador award, which is often a good indicator of Top 5 Finalist material. The winner of this award for 2014 is flight attendant #11 Sofiee Ng. Her being well-traveled helped her to win. Sofiee says she never expected to win but of all the places she's traveled to, Hong Kong is her favorite because it's where she, her family and friends call home and because it's such a vibrant city full of culture. She will do her best to promote Hong Kong tourism this coming year.
Last year's Miss Tourism Ambassador Grace Chan presents Sofiee with the award.
The second award is Miss Friendship. For the first time in pageant history, there was a tie between 2 contestants, so the contestants voted a second time to decide the winner. ( I think they should have given the award to both girls). After the second round of voting, the girls selected #15 Veronica Shiu as Miss Friendship. Last year's Miss Friendship Tammy Au-yang presented the award.
