Meet the Mr Gay World 2024 Delegates

Representatives from twelve countries are competing for the title of Mr Gay World 2024, this year being held in England.

The Alnwick Garden, in the heart of Northumberland, England is set to host the Mr Gay World international contest from 21 to 26 August, 2024.

The twelve delegates hail from Chile, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, the Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Switzerland, and Thailand. They will showcase a rich diversity of cultures and ideas as they vie for victory in the competition.

The Mr Gay World brand extends beyond a mere beauty pageant. In recent years, titleholders have used their voices to address various LGBTQIA+ issues close to their hearts, such as political, social, and economic dissonance, issues on LGBTQIA+ community healthcare, homelessness, and mental health.

“The Mr Gay World contest is not just a platform; it is a podium for delegates to share their journeys and advocate for their causes,” says John-Louis O’Neil, CEO of Mr Gay World.

The delegates will be judged on personal interviews, social responsibility campaigns, and traditional pageantry categories including casual wear, swimwear, and evening wear.

According to the organisers, the judges aim to ensure that physical attractiveness, compassion, knowledge of current events, and a good heart form the collective package before awarding the title to the contestant who embodies these qualities and is actively involved in social causes.

“We are thrilled to bring Mr Gay World to Alnwick Garden,” says Stuart Hatton Jr, a former Mr Gay World Great Britain, who also clinched the international title in 2014.

“This historic event demonstrates England’s ongoing commitment to promoting LGBTQIA+ visibility and empowerment on a global stage. We are excited and look forward to celebrating the talents and achievements of this year’s delegates.”

The organisers promise local and international visitors a week of inspiration, celebration, and community as delegates from around the world embark on their collective journey to compete for the Mr Gay World 2024 title.
