Mister Venezuela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mister Venezuela is an annual male pageant held in Venezuela. The winner and finalists from the contest go on to represent Venezuela in many international pageants. The Mister Venezuela pageant was started under the guardianship of Osmel Sousa and María Kallay with the intent of creating a male contest with the same discipline, quality and success of its female counterpart. The first contest aired July 17, 1996 and the winner was contestant number 20, José Gregorio Faría.
In the fifth edition, aired November 22, 2000, 26 men represented every state and region in Venezuela; they wore scarfs rather than the sashes used in female pageants. Due to political issues in 2002, the seventh pageant was postponed and held in 2003.
