An annual project of Miss Chinatown Foundation, Inc. since 2013, it will be a fitting climax aimed at celebrating the Filipino-Chinese youth and their continuous impact on the evolution of the country's Filipino-Chinese community.

Twenty-eight candidates are vying for top honors - 15 ladies and 13 gentlemen. For the past two months, they have been immersed in a flurry of pre-pageant activities that include preliminary competition events, personality development training, charity fashion show, business orientations, and sponsor visits.

It is hoped that they have been gradually tested and transformed into becoming well-rounded representations of the organization's tagline, "rooted in culture, elevated by elegance".
