Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant

Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant (Chinese: 溫哥華華裔小姐競選), also known as MCV and formerly branded as Miss Chinese (Vancouver) Pageant, is an annual beauty pageant organized by Fairchild TV that selects Vancouver's representative for the annual Miss Chinese International Pageant that is held in Hong Kong, organized by TVB. The current Miss Chinese Vancouver is Sophia Yin (殷千葉) winner of the 2025 pageant.

The pageant replaced the Miss Vancouver Chinatown Pageant, which selected Vancouver's representatives to the Miss Chinese International Pageant from 1988 to 1995. It is one of the most recognized beauty pageants among Chinese Canadian diaspora, alongside its Toronto counterpart. In 2020, the Miss Chinese (Vancouver) Pageant was rebranded as the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant.

History

The pageant began in 1995. Contestants must be of at least partial Chinese descent and have resided in Canada for continuous period of 6 months on the day the application form is signed. The age requirement is 17-27 (expanded in 2011). The contestants must have never been married or pregnant or committed a crime. The pageant is held at the River Rock Casino Resort in December of every year since 2022. Previously the pageant was held at the Vancouver Convention Centre from 1995 to 2019. In 2009, the location was moved to the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, British Columbia due to the media currently taking place at the Vancouver Convention Centre for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games.
