From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

[edit]

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.

  • Applicant’s resume in Chinese and/or English

Preliminary Competition

[edit]

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.
