The World Beauty Organization, producers of the MISS INTERCONTINENTAL®, MISTER INTERCONTINENTAL and TOP MODEL OF THE WORLD ® competitions, is a year-round, international company which <wbr></wbr>millions of people know because of three annual television events. Our Organization provides the opportunities - the mentoring, training, career and life experiences, both for women´s and men´s lives to be personally enriched, with a year-round organization that helps them in all their aspects from their own personal goals to social causes and work.
Our delegates are a combination of intelligence and beauty, fashion oriented and open minded. As perfect role models, they are an unique example for the youth and their goals and views.
Our focus of the three Pageants is to produce excellent shows, "first class" entertainment. Our productions will better represent the women and men who are part of them. We add important and topical segments and symbols of each host country to show it to millions of people around the globe.
With representatives worldwide our company is staffed by directors and specialists in the fields of beauty and modelling. Therefor we are able to reach every country and state in the world.
The TOP MODEL OF THE WORLD Pageant always kicks off the new year as the first Pageant of the year and its generelly held in January or February. The MISS INTERCONTINENTAL® Pageant is in September and is followed by the MR INTERCONTINENTAL Pageant.
Approximately 70 countries vie for the national title to compete in the MISS INTERCONTINENTAL® Pageant each year. Delegates from about 50 countries participate in TOP MODEL OF THE WORLD ® and about 40-50 countries aggressively vie for the title of MISTER INTERCONTINENTAL
MISS INTERCONTINENTAL ® Delegates must be at least 18 years old and under 27 (in the year they participate in the telecast). TOP MODEL OF THE WORLD ® candidates must be at least 17 and under 26 (in the year they participate in the telecast). MISTER INTERCONTINENTAL Delegates must be 18 years old and under 36 years of age.
The way to the crown is not easy. The Delegates for the national Pageants, participate in local and/or state pageants first - which are produced by local and state pageant directors - as the preliminary step. The winner of the city pageants competes in the state pageant for her home city. The state winners become Delegates for the national pageant. MISS and MISTER INTERCONTINENTAL Pageant delegates must win their respective national pageants in their countries to compete in the event.
For TOP MODEL OF THE WORLD we work as well with "First Class"- Modelling agencies around the globe and have state directors who are producing national pageants or castings to select their winner to compete in our event.
