1. Miss Exhibition Pageant

Miss Exhibition Pageant was one of the highlights of the past Industrial Products Exhibitions. After a lapse of 20 years, the Pageant was launched to recall the good old memories of visitors to the Exhibition, and to select goodwill ambassadors to promote Hong Kong's industry. A series of promotional activities were launched for the 32nd Miss Exhibition Pageant starting from late August, 1994. The first press conference for the Pageant was held on August 23, 1994 at the CMA Building to announce the organization of the Pageant and the application procedures. Contestants must be employees of the exhibitors and nominated by the latter. The contestants, representing their companies, had to station in their booths during the Exhibition period, and introduce their companies’ products to visitors. The preliminary of the Pageant was held during the four-day Exhibition. Visitors would vote for the ideal Miss Exhibition according to the contestants’ manner, communication skills, knowledge on the products and Hong Kong’s industry as well as the appearance. During the Exhibition period, the six contestants having the highest numbers of ballots would be announced everyday. The six contestants with the highest cumulative ballots could enter the final on November 9, 1994 at the CMA’s Anniversary Dinner. Title winners of the Miss Exhibition Pageant would become goodwill ambassadors of the industrial sector to assist and participate in activities organized by the CMA in promotion of Hong Kong industry. Enthusiastic responses were received after the press conference.
