Miss Tibet Pageant 2012

In the wake of the growing unrest in Tibet, the 2012 Miss Tibet Pageant has been cancelled. The very grim current circumstances leave no room for pageantry and celebrations.

I take this opportunity to remember and pay homage to those who have died for the Tibetan cause, and stand in solidarity with all the Tibetans in Tibet.

With prayers,

Lobsang Wangyal
Director

    Miss Tibet title is of great prestige! Please don’t help to globalise Tibetan’s look! the Miss Tibet title should go to a true Tibetan. Tibet’s beauty shouldn’t be compared to other races nor it should be
