The contest was launched last November. One hundred contestants were chosen for the preliminary round. The first round took place in Hanoi and HCM City from March 6-10. From March 12-17, contestants competed for sub-prizes. Total prizes were over VND1.1 billion, mainly online scholarships.

The contest, co-organised by Youth Magazine and SARA Group, aims to honour the beauty and minds of Vietnamese women, aged 16-27, who work in the IT sector or study about IT.
