# Miss Sing Tao

The Miss Sing Tao pageant has been hosted by Sing Tao Daily in San Francisco since 2003. Every month, a Cover Girl is chosen to compete in the final competition, which is usually held in December. The winners of the monthly and year-end pageants serve as ambassadors for Sing Tao Daily and the Chinese-American community.

## Eligibility and Instructions

To be eligible for the Miss Sing Tao pageant, applicants must be at least 15 years old, of at least partial Chinese descent, unmarried, and have legal residency in the United States. Applications packets must include:
* A completed application form achievable in the Sing Tao Daily Western Edition publications
* Two recent 4R photographs, one full body and one profile shot
* Applicant’s resume in Chinese and/or English
* 300 – 500-word introductory cover letter
* Application fee
All applications will be carried over every month until December. Rules are (or can be) changed at any time and applicants will not be informed individually. Please refer to Sing Tao Daily Western Edition for updates and contact information. The contestant must not be the employee (or his/her family member) of Sing Tao Daily News Group.

### Preliminary Competition

Judges will select a contestant every month to proceed in the Final Competition. Each contestant will be featured as a Monthly Cover Girl (Titleholder) on the Sing Tao Weekly Magazine with additional interviews on Sing Tao Daily and Sing Tao TV, receives exquisite gifts, and be printed in the following year's Sing Tao Cover Girl Calendar.

### Final Competition

All 12 Cover Girls within each year will compete in the Final Competition hosted in December. They will be judged in three mandatory segments (opening number and introduction; sports and lifestyle; and on-stage question in evening wear) and an optional talent segment.
