On the afternoon of May 27, 2025, in Yangon, Myanmar, the official press conference introducing the Miss Earth Pyay & Taungoo 2025 pageant was held at the M-3 Food Center auditorium. This event marked not only the kickoff of the regional beauty journey but also a powerful declaration of women’s roles in environmental protection and building a sustainable future for generations to come.
Strong, meticulous, and inspirational
In the bustling heart of Yangon, the M-3 Food Center auditorium, located on the west side of Shwedagon Pagoda Road near Aung San Roundabout, became a gathering place for media and beauty enthusiasts on the afternoon of May 27. The press conference for the Miss Earth Pyay & Taungoo 2025 pageant took place in a professional and vibrant atmosphere filled with enthusiasm.
At the event, representatives of the organizing committee clearly outlined the scale and rules of the competition, while emphasizing the crucial role of the media in conveying Miss Earth’s message to the community. This marks the first time in many years that the Pyay and Taungoo regions have hosted an official preliminary round, providing young women with the opportunity to express their voices and dreams on a national stage.
A mission not stopping at the crown
The biggest distinction of the Miss Earth pageant compared to other beauty contests lies in its integration of beauty, intelligence, and social responsibility. Contestants are required not only to possess striking appearances but also to demonstrate a deep understanding of environmental issues, climate change, and sustainable development.
The organizers emphasized: “We do not charge any registration fees; evening gowns, national costumes, and training costs are all sponsored. What matters most to us is the heart, the spirit of progress, and the desire to contribute in every contestant.” This message made the press conference not just an event announcement but a call to action, spreading the spirit of commitment to the planet.
Seeds of the future
The press conference also officially unveiled the outstanding contestants who will compete in the Miss Earth Pyay & Taungoo finals. The list includes eight remarkable women: Thae Su Mon Aung, Khaing Khaing Lin, Yoon War War Htwe, Sung Sung, Rebeca Htwe, Khin Thazin San, Thet Hmue Eain, and Yin Mon Thant. Each brings a unique color and an inspiring story—some are environmental science students, others volunteer at sea turtle conservation centers, and some come from remote areas with fierce determination. They join the competition not only to showcase their beauty but also to affirm: “Women are not just symbols of beauty, but representatives of action and positive change.”
The competition not only helps them step into the spotlight but also hones their leadership, public speaking, and self-expression skills. These are essential tools for any modern woman aspiring to become an influential figure in society.
The bridge of spreading meaningful messages and true values
The powerful impact of Miss Earth Pyay & Taungoo 2025 owes much to the media’s vital role in connecting the pageant with the public through words, visuals, and emotions. From the press conference to the upcoming grand finale, various press outlets and social media platforms have actively contributed to bringing the message of “beauty for the planet” closer to the community. The professional and inspiring atmosphere of the Media Conference further affirmed the pageant’s serious standing, thanks to well-coordinated efforts from organization to program hosting. Among the highlights, MC Ko Soe Kyaw Lwin, with his engaging, confident, and professional hosting style, helped create a lively and motivating ambiance throughout the pageant’s key events. His presence and dedication have been an indispensable highlight of this year’s program.
Alongside the role of the media, we cannot overlook the silent but valuable contributions of individuals and backstage support units. Among them, the cosmetic brand April Luxury has appeared as a reliable partner, supporting the program as the Cosmetic Gold Sponsor, helping to enhance the image of the contestants and the organizational standards. The upcoming final night promises to be even more exciting with the performance of singer Hein Shine, who will bring emotionally colorful musical acts. The connection between art, beauty, and humanitarian meaning has made Miss Earth Pyay & Taungoo more than just a contest; it has become a refined journey where beauty is not only to be admired but also to inspire action and create real value for the community.
Miss Earth Pyay & Taungoo 2025 is not only the starting point of a beauty journey but also a symbol of positive change in community awareness about the environment. When beauty is entrusted with a mission and women are empowered to speak up, we have every reason to expect a new generation: courageous, knowledgeable, and ready to act for this planet. This year’s contest will surely be an unforgettable milestone, not only for the contestants but also for everyone who pursues beauty with depth and meaning.
