The current Mister International is Andrés Briseño of Mexico, who was crowned on September 26, 2026, at the MCC Hall Bangkapi, in Bangkok, Thailand.
History
2006–2021
Mister International Organization was Singapore-based, owned, and organized by its former president and late founder, Alan Sim,[1] Since the first edition, 80 countries have sent their representative to this competition. The Mister International Organization licenses local organizations that wish to select the Mister International delegate for their country and approves the selection method for national contestants. Traditionally, Mister International lived in Singapore during his reign and was allowed to live anywhere in every country (hence the name Mister International).[2]
2022–present
Since Sim's death on October 12, 2022, two Mister International organizations emerged, with one being headquartered to Thailand and led by Pradit Pradinunt from October 31, 2022. For the first time in 16 years, the Mister International Organization will allow fathers, married, and divorced men to compete.[3] A separate Mister International Organization based in the Philippines[4][5] has been holding a pageant of the same name since 2023.[6][7][8]
