On September 1, 2010 the annual beauty contest Miss Insta Asia, which got underway in autumn 2009, was over. This time over 500 girls took part in the contest and more than 100,000 people visited the contest website and became its users.
Despite the tiltle, the geography of the contest had spread far beyond the Asian continent since its early days. Ladies from 46 countries took part in the competeion from Malaysia and India to the U.S. and Canada. Moreover, there were contestants from Australia, Jamaica, Peru and even Yemen.
In spite of being an online contest, Miss Insta Asia gained a great popularity. Thus, the contestants and users created numerous social networking communities, blogs, and microblogs (Twitter). Some regional newspapers featured stories about the contestants who took top places, which is a further evidence of the increased interest in the contest.
The competition attracted public attention which was proved by a great number of participants, high users' activity, and the popularity among lots of people. That was why the administration of the contest decided to launch the second season of Miss Insta Asia later.
As for the results of the contest, in September 2010 three top winners were determined and shared the price pool of $30,000.
Below are video interviews with contest finalists, their profiles, and votes gained in the competition.
