Miss Universe Vietnam
Miss Universe Vietnam (Vietnamese: Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam) is a two-year frequent national beauty pageant in Vietnam to select the country's representative to the Miss Universe, one of the Big Four major international beauty pageants.
Since 2017, the editions have been being organized frequently at the very end of odd years as opposed to the organization of Miss Vietnam on even years due to the Ministry of Culture's direction. The winner of the pageant will be crowned as the next year's Miss Universe Vietnam while one of the two runners-up could be appointed as the following year's one if the pageant is not allowed to be held in time. Therefore, there have been two types of Miss Universe Vietnam, crowned Miss Universe Vietnam will represent Vietnam at Miss Universe on even years while appointed/granted Miss Universe Vietnam will represent the country on odd years.

History
- The 2008 Miss Universe Vietnam was held at the Vinpearl Land resort in Nha Trang on May 31, 2008. It was the first official Miss Universe Vietnam contest.[1] Miss Vietnam Universe took place at Diamond Bay, Nha Trang, with 20 contestants participating. The final included four competitions: evening gown, swimsuit, áo dài, and interview. This was the first edition of Miss Universe Vietnam. The winner, Nguyễn Thùy Lâm, was host delegate for the Miss Universe 2008 pageant held July 14, 2008, also in Nha Trang. She made the Top 15.
- After a 7-year hiatus, the competition of Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 was held on October 3, 2015 at Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang City, Vietnam. Phạm Thị Hương was the winner and officially a second titleholder of Miss Universe Vietnam pageant.[2]
- The selection of Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 is accompanied by a reality television series called I Am Miss Universe Vietnam, in which contestants are put through different challenges and training programs in each weekly episode. Initially, the contest finale was scheduled to be held in August 2017. However, it was subsequently pushed back to December 2, 2017.[3] The finale was once again pushed back to January 6, 2018 amidst ongoing recovery efforts in Nha Trang - the host city - after Typhoon Damrey hit the region in early November.[4] 70 contestants were selected for the 2017 pageant and 63 of them took part in the preliminary competition. Top 45 finalists were then chosen for the final round. Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 - Phạm Thị Hương crowned her successor - H'Hen Niê at the end of the event. Being an Ede, H'Hen was the first Miss Universe Vietnam to be of a minor ethnicity.
