You may have seen all the #RISE teasers and the candidate call out video that went out in the Mr. and Ms. Chinatown page. Now, you may have a lot of questions and this article will answer every single one of them.
WHAT IS THE THEME THIS YEAR?
This year, Mr. and Ms. Chinatown will be more than a stepping stone. It will be more than looking for fresh faces. It will be a movement. From #BuildingBridges in 2019, MMCP wants to encourage everyone to #RISE above the current challenges that the community is facing. The goal this year is to look for new ambassador and ambassadresses who are ready to #RISE and empower others in the community to do the same. You will hear more of this campaign when it’s officially launched on the 28th of August.

Digital Competition will run from September 13 until Oct 17, 2020 while the digital awarding ceremony will be on October 18, 2020. Awarding night date may be subject to change.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE POCKET EVENTS?
As we occupy a new space for MMCP 2020, new challenges await this year’s roster. In a series of tasks and activities, we are replacing the pocket events with “online challenges”. They will go head to head on challenges that focus Culture, Confidence and Creativity. Each challenge will contribute to their overall scores.
During the awarding ceremony, one major change is the replacement of the swimsuit competition. Instead, we will have an athletic wear segment that will focus on fitness and total well-being.
