The Big Seven beauty pageants
[edit]Hundreds of thousands of beauty contests are held annually,[9] but the Big Seven are considered the most prestigious,[10] widely covered and broadcast by media.[11] The Wall Street Journal,[2] BBC News,[12] CNN,[13] Xinhua News Agency,[14] and global news agencies such as Reuters,[15] Associated Press[16] and Agence France-Presse[17] collectively refer to the seven major pageants as "Big Seven" namely:
- Manhunt International is the oldest existing major male international beauty pageant. It was created in Australia by Rosko Dickinson in 1993.
- Mister World was created in the United Kingdom by Julia Morley in 1996, who co-chairs the pageant.[18]
- Mister International, is a Bangkok-based international beauty pageant organized by The International Culture Association. The pageant was first held in 2006.[19]
- Mister Universe is an annual international beauty contest that is run by the Miss Universe Organization.[20] The contest was founded in 1952 by California clothing company Pacific Mills.[21] The pageant became part of Kayser-Roth and then Gulf+Western Industries, before being acquired by Donald Trump in 1996,[22] WME/IMG in 2015,[23] and currently owned by Thai-based JKN Global Group in 2022.[24]
