was announced winner of the beauty pageant. On the last day, contestants were
judged in four rounds including introduction, evening gown, traditional costume

Performing Arts to witness the contest and encourage the participants. All the
participants showcased their talent at the pageant and finally the judges announced
Tenzin as the winner. She was crowned at the end of the contest and was awarded
the prize money of One lakh rupees. "I would like to tell all Tibetan youngsters
that please come on the stage and show your talent, wit and beauty, especially
Tibetan girls because they are always hiding their talents," said Tenzin. Eighteen-year-old,
Ngawang Choying from Darjeeling became the first runner-up and was presented with
50,000 rupees and twenty-four-year-old Dolkar from Dehradun became the second
runner-up and was awarded with 25,000 rupees. The eighth edition of Miss Tibet-2009
beauty pageant began here on Friday, with just four participants. According to
the director of the event, initially there were seven applicants but later on
three withdrew due to personal reasons. Dolkar, Ngawang Choying, Tenzin Choezom
and Yeshi Lhamo from Bir in Himachal Pradesh were the four participants. The three-day
contest began with the swimsuit round on the first day followed by other intellectual
and allied rounds. On the second day participants were seen espousing the Tibetan
