Following the official launch recently, the inaugural home-grown Miss Virtual Malaysia 2019 (MVM 2019) pageant continued the excitement with a roadshow on Aug 3 – 4 at Sunway Pyramid mall in Petaling Jaya.
Clearly, there was no shortage of interest as the new pageant with the tagline ‘It’s your Moment to Shine’ has to date more than 60 contestants from all over the country.
MVM national director Darwish Roslee said that the two-day roadshow was conducted with the aim of creating awareness about the new Miss Virtual Malaysia pageant.
“Miss Virtual Malaysia 2019 augurs a preliminary stage of a new digital medium whereby applicants only need to register online at our portal with a photo and video profile to participate,” he said.
The fun-filled event was hosted by MVM committee member Dan Lo.
At the roadshow, Miss Malaysia World 2015 first runner-up Serene Claire, Miss Malaysia World 2014 champion Dewi Liana Seriestha, Miss Intercontinental Malaysia 2017 and Miss Supranational Malaysia 2018 champion Sanjna Suri and celebrity model and actress Venice Min were there to meet and greet their fans, and to share their experiences.
Visitors at the booth won free goodies such as pen-drives and t-shirts if they answered correctly during the Q&A session. They also enjoyed free ice cold Monster Energy drink.
There was also an InstaBooth to capture their MVM19 “Crown & Sash” moments. MVM 2019 promotional flyers were also distributed.
Darwish said the shortlisted Top 40 finalists audition will be held on this coming Aug 17 at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
It will narrow down the selections further to Top 16 finalists for the Grand Final that will take place at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur on Sept 26.
The first Miss Virtual Malaysia 2019 will win cash prizes worth RM70,000 and more.
The crown winner will be selected by a panel of esteemed judges that will include Malaysian supermodel Amber Chia, popular Malaysian actress and model Adeline Tsen, Miss Grand Thailand 2016 Faye Malisorn, Miss Earth 2018 Nguyen Phuong Khanh and Miss Universe Korea 2018 Baek Ji-hyun.
