New for 2026, we’re introducing six exciting optional competitions! Each optional gives contestants a chance to express their personality, culture, creativity, and confidence beyond the required events. You may enter any or all of the following:

Celebrate your natural beauty and confidence through photography. Contestants submit a professional or high-quality photo that captures personality, charm, and authenticity. Judges look for genuine expression, eye contact, and overall presentation.

Outfit Requirement: No specific outfit is required. Solid colors and simple styles photograph best—avoid busy prints or heavy accessories. Choose a look that highlights your natural features and confidence.

Show your style, attitude, and stage presence! Contestants model an outfit that reflects their personality while demonstrating confidence, posture, and grace on the runway. Judges focus on walk, poise, and audience connection.

Outfit Requirement: Fashion-forward attire such as a trendy dress, jumpsuit, or age-appropriate statement outfit. No evening gowns or swimsuits. Heels or stylish footwear encouraged.

A tribute to culture, heritage, and pride. Contestants present traditional or cultural attire representing their heritage or an Asian culture they wish to honor. Judges appreciate authenticity, elegance, and confidence.

Outfit Requirement: Traditional ethnic or fusion attire (cheongsam/qipao, hanbok, sari, kimono, ao dai, etc.). Accessories or props that enhance the cultural presentation are welcome. Contestants may include a short statement introducing their outfit’s meaning.

Bring energy, health, and enthusiasm to the stage! This lively event celebrates spirit and confidence—not athletic skill. Contestants showcase simple moves or poses that radiate positivity and strength.

Outfit Requirement: Stylish activewear such as leggings, shorts, or a coordinated fitness set with sneakers. Bright colors encouraged. Hair should be neat and away from the face.

Show the world what makes you unique! Contestants perform a 90-second routine—singing, dancing, playing an instrument, martial arts, spoken word, or any special skill. Judges value originality, confidence, and stage presence.

Outfit Requirement: Costume or outfit appropriate to the performance. Modest, tasteful, and easy to move in. Props allowed if set-up and removal are quick and safe.

Lead with your voice and inspire others. Contestants deliver a brief (up to 60 seconds) prepared speech on a positive message, personal mission, or community platform. Judges focus on articulation, confidence, and connection.

Outfit Requirement: Professional or business-style attire—dress, skirt suit, or pantsuit. Choose a look that makes you feel empowered, polished, and ready to lead.
