It seems like we have got pageants springing up
everywhere and the “misters” category - yes, the one where the guys are the
main attraction, is making a dramatic statement with a good number in it entering
the scene this year.
The chances of many a male pageant aspirant to
snatch an international pageant title is considerably increased this year with
the emergence of various pageant groups. It will not be all strut your stuff
for participants of these pageants as most organizers made it a point to also
back up their brands with some altruistic, philanthropic or some
advocacy-focused causes. Let’s check out three of those about to debut this
year.
Mister Worldwide Competition is scheduled to take place on September 6, 2015 in Orlando, Florida. The pageant organization behind it is Hernandez Crown Entertainment Inc., a domestic for profit organization constituted by the laws of the state of Florida on August 27, 2014 for the purpose of pageant productions.
The purpose of the pageant is to promote the
tourism of the host city and that of the participating countries. It hopes that
through a simple male pageant, representatives can show the world the true
beauty of their respective country and society.
The winner of Mister Worldwide Competition will
have as his main advocacy the United Nations international campaign against
women violence. He will work with other men to educate and prevent abuses
to women. He will also work supporting campaigns against child obesity and
anti-bullying programs around the world.
The organization is looking for a man who can be
sexy, modelesque and commercial. He should be handsome, intelligent,
compassionate and emotionally mature. Moreover, he should be aware and articulate
of what contributions he can make to his country and the world. That's
why, in the words of the pageant organizers, they are looking for "The
Most Complete Man on Earth."
Host city Orlando in the sunshine state of Florida
is another factor that can generate immense interest in this pageant. Florida
is known for its tourist attractions of beaches, theme parks and of course,
pageants.
Mister Universal Ambassador is likewise set to
take place in September in the island resort of Bali, Indonesia. This place is
getting to be a pageant center after it was put in the limelight with its
hosting of the Miss World pageant in 2013. Its many scenic spots, diving sites
and coral reefs, traditional architecture and dances are among the attractions
that have made it the top tourist destination in the country and an enticing
place for pageant holding.
Mister Universal Ambassador is a male beauty
pageant owned and managed by IMP Organization of Indonesia. The contest is
aimed at discovering dedicated men who can inspire the young generation around
the world through living a healthy lifestyle, gaining good education and
enhancing life skills. The organization believes that impressive men with

The delegates will be flown to Bali, Indonesia to

tremendous landscape of Bali, sports challenge, micro-group teaching
(presenting a paper challenging the youth to live a healthy lifestyle), fashion
show, diversity night, auction gift night, gala dinner with luminaries of Bali,
and witnessing many Balinese events.

Mister United Continents is scheduled to be held
on May 30, 2015 in Manila, Philippines. It has adopted the tagline “World’s
prestigious pageant searching for the most attractive men across continents.”
Manila is the economic and political capital of
the Philippines, home to extensive commerce and some of the most historically
and culturally significant landmarks in the country. Rapidly developing, the
city is sprawling, bustling and multi-culturally diverse. The city is filled
with museums, shops, parks and churches, plus enough nightlife to last until
dawn.
Mister United Continents intends to bring together
representatives from a wide range of communities and cultures from all over the
world to share common values, different advocacies and foster international
friendship and understanding. It seeks to promote the importance of service to humanity
everywhere in the world by honing the leadership qualities of the delegates to
become role models and effective resource persons of chosen advocacies.
Finally by staging the first edition of Mister
United continents in Manila, the organizers hope to set the bar for future hosting
of the pageant by presenting a polished, professional and meaningful event. And
not to forget, something that is genuinely enjoyable and memorable – living up
to the famous catchphrase “It’s more fun in the Philippines!”
