Pageant information
[edit]The slogan to this year's pageant was "Delicate and Stunning, Chasing the Dream of Beauty" 「玲瓏絕色 唯美追夢」. The masters of ceremony this year were Carol Cheng, Lawrence Cheng, and Janis Chan. Judges included actor Roger Kwok, Miss Hong Kong 1989 Monica Chan, and Miss Hong Kong 1991 Second Runner-Up Ada Choi.[1][3]
The show also included two guest judging panels that provided their Top 3 Picks throughout the evening. However, their choices are not scored and therefore are not included in the official results. The two panels include the 20-person "Star Judging Panel" that consists of TVB artistes, and a 100-person "Professional Panel" that consists of professionals from the banking, insurance, production, entrepreneurship, fashion, and cosmetic sectors. In addition, the 18 competing delegates also provided with their choices for Top 3, that were announced near the beginning of the programme.
