The second competing part of the event was the show of the group dancing called Production Number. All the contestants in uniformed dresses moved to the stage centre. They were dancing uniformly appearing sexy and hot at one moment and charming and enchanting at the next. The audiences were crazy for their dancing performance with whistles and cheers.
Soon afterwards, 15 charming contestants stepped onto the stage again with the cheerful music for the third part of the competition: Resort Wears. Clad in their resort wears of eye catching colours and designs, the contestants obviously displayed the aromas of youth, health and beauty.
The final part of the competition was Evening gowns. Again the gentle and relaxing music brought the audiences the competing contestants onto the stage. Each of the contestant held a wreath over her head moving around elegantly in her astonishingly beautiful evening gown. Each turn around of theirs with a sweet smile left an ever lasting memorable impression on the audiences as well as the judges.The contestants surely displayed their unique charm and the independence, self confidence and creativity that modern women have possessed during the whole competition of excellence and happy surprises.

The talent competition was conducted independently which also included charity activities, hence “the talent competition with charity dinner” being the title of the event. The competition was held on 13 November 2022 ahead of the grand finals. The auctions and the charity sales on the evening of the 13th of Nov 2022 saw a fund raised for Autism NZ up to over NZD8,000! Accordingly, on behalf of Autism NZ, certificates were issued on the evening of the grand finals on 26 Nov by New Zealand International Culture and Arts Exchange Centre, the host of the event, and the organizing committee of the event to those who made donations to Autism NZ with deep thanks for their love and care.
