Five contestants of the recently-concluded Mr Guyana International Competition have been chosen to represent Guyana at six international pageants in 2015.
These include newly-crowned Mr Guyana International Paul Charles, and his former competition in the persons of Ryan Washington, Colwyn Abrams, Kevin Bhagrat and Alexander Fiedtkou.
First up, Charles will participate in the Mr Caribbean and Mr Worldwide Competition. A date for the Mr Caribbean contest is yet to be finalised, but the Mr Worldwide Competition is slated for Orlando, Florida on September 6, 2015.
The competition entails sport and talent contests, the National Costume competition and more importantly, the candidates must prepare a video on their preparations for the pageant. All the preliminary competitions will be held behind closed doors.
On the other hand, Ryan Washington will represent Guyana at Mr Model International Competition in 2015. The date for this competition will be announced in March 2015.
Colwyn Abrams will represent Guyana at Mr Global Tourism Competition 2015. Mr Global Tourism is an international male pageant, a brand of Face of the World Organisation. This competition was created to promote world unity, and encourage education and promotion of global tourism.
The contestants will be judged on their looks, intelligence, fitness, and style. Mr Global Tourism will host a two-day workshop as an awareness campaign on safe travel, tourist protection, and tourist destination identification, development, marketing and promotion. The theme for the seminar is “tourism development, identification and funding towards promotion of global peace, unity and friendship for business”.
A new date for Mr Global Tourism will be announced later, but the pageant will be hosted in Toronto, Canada.
Kevin Bhagrat will represent Guyana at Mr Wonderful World 2015. The aim of the annual Mr Wonderful World Pageant is to give all men the opportunity to come together in one setting, regardless of their background, to build relationships with other men who are working diligently to make a positive impact in the life of a child in need of love.
Delegates will have the opportunity to visit and enjoy the beautiful host country with its unique range of natural and cultural attractions, as well as other destinations.
During their stay, they will be assured of fun-filled holiday activities and inspirational natural and cultural experiences. The delegates will compete in various events: photo sessions, presentations to the media, visits to authorities, and presentation in bathing suit and evening wear among others. The final event will be held on Sunday, September 27, 2015 in Panama.
Finally, Alexander Fiedtkou will represent Guyana at Mr Caribbean International 2015. Mr Caribbean International (MCI) aims to promote positive images of Caribbean men. Through its annual competition, MCI supports its delegates in their display of intellect, talent, community involvement, and physical fitness while showcasing the richness and diversity of their cultures.
