The pageant is intended to promote tourism and cultural exchanges between North America and Hong Kong, and will be viewed by approximately 50 million people worldwide.

Approximately 20 contestants, winners of local pageants in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, Toronto, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and other Asian countries, will compete before a panel of five judges.
