As part of the 5th Nghe An Province Ethnic Minority Arts Festival, the "Beauty of Ethnic Minorities" contest aims to honor the physical and spiritual beauty of women in the highlands.
Wearing striking and meticulously prepared costumes, young women from the Hmong, Thai, and Tho ethnic groups confidently performed on stage in two segments: the traditional costume presentation and the self-selected costume presentation.
After the evaluation and scoring in each round, the outstanding contestants will be announced and awarded prizes at tonight's performance, September 11th.
