What surprised many people was that the contest organizer has just announced that it will apply blockchain technology (Blockchain) to the process of voting contestants. Within the framework of Miss Charm 2023 will include an online voting contest - Miss Blockcharm.

The difference of this voting contest is the integration and participation of Web3 applications such as fan tokens, NFTs ,... The reason given by the Organizing Committee is to promote the applications of Blockchain in life.

Reflecting the "chaos" of the Miss pageant, Nga said that in 2022, Vietnam has more than 20 licensed Miss pageants. Before that, there were only 2-3 Miss pageants every year, 2-3 Miss Queen pageants. The new decree is not limited, all provinces can grant licenses, so in 2022 Vietnam has many competitions. This is a normal law of the market, everyone can do it as long as they do not break the law.

"Each competition has its own audience and sponsors. We applied for permits before the new decree. We are committed to investing seriously, thoughtfully and transparently, not only in the beauty pageant but also in accompanying the promotion of culture, education, and noble criteria of the Miss pageant."

To this news, the chief organizer responded: "We would like to refrain from commenting on the activities of other beauty organizations. We can only confirm that there are no less than 80-90 countries sending applications for Miss Charm. However, we only select about 40-50 representatives of countries to compete in the first season to best control the quality of contestants for our competition."

With the application of Blockchain technology, the votes and voting weights of the audience will be expressed in the form of transactions in the blockchain. This is how Blockchain technology is applied to make the competition transparent.

There are already many examples demonstrating the applicability of Blockchain technology in real life.

Vietnam is considered a fertile ground for developing, testing and applying new technologies. Blockchain also opens up many opportunities, creating a vibrant wave of start-ups and innovations in the world and Vietnam.
