The pageant in it's first year only allowed girls that were full Chinese and have some Chinese language ability. The pageant composed called for excellence in 3 areas: Evening Gown, Talent and Bathing Suit.
Evening Gown and Talent accounted for 40 percent of the score, while Bathing Suit accounted for 60 percent.
