(Baonghean.vn) - Within the framework of the Hang Bua festival, the most anticipated competition is the Hang Bua beauty contest and the performance of traditional ethnic costumes. This competition always attracts a large number of tourists as well as local people because this is a contest to honor the beauty of Quy Chau girls.
On the evening of February 20, before entering the 2014 Hang Bua beauty contest, the organizing committee introduced to many visitors a traditional art form called Ta Nang Xoong (the Thai people's moon-welcoming custom). This year, the contest had 18 contestants participating. The contestants went through 2 rounds: performing traditional costumes and answering questions about knowledge and behavior. Thereby, the judges and organizing committee will select and award 1 first prize, 2 second prizes, 3 third prizes and 4 prizes for wearing traditional costumes. Contestant Lang Thi Hong Ly, from Chau Hanh commune, won the crown of this year's contest.
Here are some photos that Nghe An Newspaper reporters took at the contest:
