The history of Miss Taiwan Pageant began in 2000 with the primary goal of promoting Taiwanese culture to young Taiwanese and to the peoples around the world.  The pageant is organized by the Miss Taiwan World Foundation which receives support from its many hard working volunteers and generous sponsors. One of the foremost responsibilities of Miss Taiwan World is to take on the role of representing the foundation as its ambassador to build relations and engage in productive interactions with other communities. Other mission goals include:

• To promote the relations between Taiwan and other countries

• To encourage Taiwanese’s participation and contribution to the society

• To nurture relations and promote productive interactions with other Ethnic groups

• To mentor and encourage young Taiwanese talents

• To share Taiwanese heritage for the benefits of humanity

The Miss Taiwanese American (MTA) Pageant (台美小姐選拔 ) is an annual competition held by the Taiwan Center Foundation of Greater Los Angeles (大洛杉磯台灣會館基金會) to find and encourage the next generation of leaders for the Taiwanese American community.

The Mission of the program is to:

• Showcase young Taiwanese American women in a high quality production that will represent their culture, intelligence and talent.

• Select intelligent young women as Taiwanese American ambassadors to serve and represent the Taiwanese American community.
