As part of the “Spring Homeland Festival 2025” — a meaningful event series — the Miss Culture – Friendship International 2025 is organized by the Consulate General of Vietnam in Fukuoka, Japan, in coordination with the Vietnamese Associations in Fukuoka and Saitama, Japan, SUN SHINE GLOBAL and several other units.

The Spring Homeland Festival 2025 was officially launched at a press conference on July 17, 2024.

Miss Culture – Friendship International 2025 is not simply a beauty competition where contestants display glamorous wardrobes and perform onstage. What is special here is that the contest is designed as a real‑life experience journey, where contestants must have a striking appearance and also meet criteria of health, exhibit intellect and broad cultural understanding.

According to the Organizing Committee, Miss Culture – Friendship International will participate in many activities requiring physical endurance—from traveling to various countries, participating in cultural exchange programmes, to performing social tasks in local communities. Therefore health becomes a crucial factor, ensuring the queen can fulfill her responsibilities throughout her term.

At the press conference the Jury stated that health is a key criterion of the competition.

Meanwhile, intellect and language are also emphasised criteria. The winner not only needs to understand her country but must also have the ability to research and deeply understand the markets and cultures of the countries she will visit. Intellect helps build sustainable friendly relationships, contribute to international cultural exchange, and language will be the tool to achieve this.

The combination of these criteria makes Miss Culture – Friendship International 2025 distinct and different from typical beauty contests. The competition does not only honour physical beauty but also emphasizes understanding and social responsibility. Through this, the winner becomes not only a symbol of beauty but a cultural ambassador, one who conveys good values and strengthens the homeland’s connections.
