Mister International is an international male beauty pageant that the Mister International Organization runs since 2006. Along with its rival contest, Mister World, this pageant is one of the two largest male beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of national-level competitions. Mister International Organization was Singapore-based owned and organized by the former president and late founder, Alan Sim.

The current Mister International 2024 is Nwajagu Samuel of Nigeria, who was crowned on December 14, 2023 at the Island Hall, Fashion Island, Bangkok, Thailand. He became the first Nigerian, and the first African, to win the Mister International title.

History

[edit]

2006–2021

[edit]

Mister International Organization was Singapore-based owned and organized by the former president and late founder, Alan Sim,[1] Since the first edition, 80 countries have sent their representative to this pageant, with an annual average of 38 contestants. Mister International Organization licenses local organizations that wish to select the Mister International contestant for their country and approves the selection method for national contestants. Traditionally, Mister International lived in Singapore during his reign and was allowed to live anywhere in every country (hence the name Mister International).[2]

2022–present

[edit]

Since Sim's death on October 12, 2022, the organization relocated its headquarters to Thailand, with Pradit Pradinunt becoming the new president from October 31, 2022. For the first time in 16 years, the Mister International Organization will allow fathers, married, and divorced men to compete.[3] A separate group based in the Philippines led by Manuel Deldio emerged.[4][5][6] The Philippines-based pageant group has been holding a pageant of the same name since 2023.[7][8][9]
