## Pageantry
### Miss Ethnic Vietnam 2022

English: If there is a suitable international competition, I will definitely participate. Because it is an opportunity for me to contribute to spreading Vietnamese beauty full of wisdom and compassion, and at the same time bring to international friends a rich image of Vietnam.
Nong Thuy Hang won Miss Ethnic Vietnam 2022 which means she will be able to represent Vietnam at the Miss Earth 2022 contest, but because in 2023, Vietnam will host the contest. In order for the Miss Earth 2023 contest to take place in the best way, the host representative Vietnam should be the one who won the Miss Ethnic Vietnam contest, so she will participate in Miss Earth 2023 instead of Miss Earth 2022. And represent Vietnam at the event Miss Earth 2022 will be Thạch Thu Thảo. But after that, she was not able to attend Miss Earth 2023 because a new competition of Miss Earth Vietnam 2023, will be held to find a new representative.
