Something different about Mr. Universal Ambassador, the pageant

Something about Mr. Universal Ambassador sets it uniquely apart from other known mister pageants in the world today that follow the basic national costume, fashion, swimwear, formal wear and interview format. To some extent this pageant follows the same format but with a wee bit more than the usual, and a unique quality and flavor of its own.

This brand-new pageant just concluded its first edition in Surabaya, Indonesia November 3-13, 2015. And if you had followed the proceedings, you may have had noticed some discernible differences in its thrusts and mix of activities from other established pageants. Over and above the openly stated objectives and visible conduct of the pageant, something far more insightful and well known of Indonesia in character and perspective, governs this pageant.

How good grooming can do wonders to a candidate's pageant bid

Perhaps we are being overly simplistic or even nitpicky but sometimes basic grooming and neat appearance can spell the difference whether you make it or break it in pageant battlefield. Assuming that one is not hopeless in other respects, the look or style of the contestant can be crucial in judging. A pageant entrant’s look should not only catch the judges attention but more importantly match the pageant’s image and gain the judges approval. We suppose such was the case with our reigning Mr. Universal Ambassador, Daniel Christian Ortiz of Puerto Rico.

Waging war for Indonesia's first international mister pageant title

Indonesia is a country with a unique and inviting rich culture, many scenic spots, lively entertainment scene and developing modern infrastructure. This is why it is fast becoming not only a favorite travel destination but also the choice for international pageant holdings.

The people are also captivated with pageants: doing and donning their best for such events. They must have set a record for those winning, meticulously created and spectacular national costumes their candidates wear in every international pageant. On the other hand, they have yet to capture a major title in the international male pageant category. It seems to us this is no longer a distant goal.

In Helter-skelter for Helder Velazquez

Out there in the world of currently running mister pageants, some guys will most definitely capture your imagination for oozing and sizzling in testosterone hotness. If hotness is the only criterion for judging contestants in mister pageants, then this guy is in our parlance a "runaway winner" even before the contest has began.

Helder Velazquez is a professional model for Likuid Talent and Model Management and is Puerto Rico’s bet to Mister Universal Ambassador 2015 to take place in Bali, Indonesia in September. Make haste for Helder!  

Three Newest Mister Pageants to Watch for this Year

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.
