## History

Miss Vietnam is the biggest beauty pageant and the first nationwide beauty contest after the reunification of Vietnam. Before that, there was also a South Vietnamese Saigon-based beauty contest named Cuộc thi tìm kiếm người đẹp tại Sài Gòn (lit. 'Beauty Contest in Saigon'). In 1955, Công Thị Nghĩa became the first titleholder of the contest as well as the first national beauty pageant titleholder in Vietnamese history. In 1965, the title was held with the coronation of Thái Kim Hương.
The after-unification contest Miss Vietnam was initiated and organized by Tiền Phong – a daily newspaper published by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the youth wing of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Initially the contest was called "Miss National Tiền Phong Newspaper", starting from 1988 and is held every two years, the contest was officially renamed as "Miss Vietnam" in 2002. The first person to hold the title is Bùi Bích Phương. The pageant was created with the purpose of finding women with good morals, knowledge and representing the image of Vietnamese women.
