The Southern California Scholarship Association, Miss Hollywood Beauty Pageant, Hollywood - CA. Sponsored Makeup and Hair by All Made Up Team
Every year the Southern California Vietnamese community host a Lunar New Year Tet Beauty Pageant in Garden Grove, CA next to Bolsa High School and Garden Grove Park. I’ve been a part of the beauty pageant for the past 3 year now and the UVSA (Vietnamese Student Association) have done a great job organizing this year TET event.
Tết, the Lunar New Year, marks the beginning of spring and is the most observed holiday within the Vietnamese community. As a means to preserve culture, the Vietnamese American community celebrates Tết through a vibrant array of traditional foods, ceremonies, and customs.
The Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (UVSA) is proud to host the Tết Festival of Southern California annually. UVSA staff and members contribute thousands of hours organizing the festival as a means to strengthen cultural awareness among the youth, build future leaders for the community, and fund community programs and projects across the Southern California region. Attracting over 100,000 patrons annually, the Tết Festival of Southern Californa remains the largest Tết Festival and Vietnamese cultural event outside of Vietnam.

Ernie Koneck: Hi, I'm the director of the Miss Hollywood pageant. Because we're part of the Miss America system, some people get a little sensitive when they see us referred to as a beauty pageant. Could you change the headline on the page so it just says "Miss Hollywood/Southland Pageant" and leave out the word beauty. I would really appreciate it. Thanks Ernie
