Background
Location and date
On 17 March 2024, the organizer of the Mister World pageant, announced on their official social that the 11th edition of the contest was scheduled to be held in Vietnam in September 2024.[2] This will be the first time for Vietnam to host the contest and the fourth time an Asian country has hosted the contest, after China in 2007, South Korea in 2010 and the Philippines in 2019. The memorandum of understanding signing ceremony between the Miss World organization and the local organizer Sen Vàng Entertainment, which also organizes the Mister World Vietnam competition, took place during the press conference of the inaugural edition of Mister World Vietnam contest at Vertical Garden Rex Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on 22 June 2024. Attending this event were Mister World 2019 Jack Heslewood and Miss World 2023Krystyna Pyszková.[3][4]
The contest was originally scheduled to take place between September 12–28, but rescheduled to September 17 to October 5, and once again to November 5-23, due to the passing of Vietnam’s former president, Nguyễn Phú Trọng. The contestants will be going through many locations such as Phan Thiet City, Vung Tau City, and Nam Cat Tien National Park.[5] This year, the contest will include several activities including pre-final challenge events, body art photo shoot session, and election of "Nam Cat Tien Green Environment Ambassador".[6]
Out of a total of 61 contestants, 13 contestants are replacement representatives for the previously officially announced participants such as representatives from countries: Cambodia, Brazil, and India. Before the competition, eleven contestants withdrew from the competition: Cameroon, Chile, Costa Rica, Equatorial Guinea, Estonia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama and Uganda. Ten countries returned from a hiatus, including Vietnam, which last competed in 2012 and Botswana, which last competed in 1996.
The challenge was held in multiple rounds. Twenty semifinalists were selected after the first round held on 11 November 2024 in which the contestants presented a self-introduction speech. In the second round held on 12 November 2024, the semifinalists were divided into 5 groups and had to present a speech about Vietnam tourism. The best semifinalist from each group was selected to become part of the five finalists who competed in the third round. Daryn Friedman from United States won the challenge, obtaining a placement in the Top 20.
