Over the 17 days of competition, our Mr World nations will take part in a series of events that test their strength, stamina, mental agility and determination to succeed in the face of adversity. Only the very best will make it our Live Stage Final where they will then be judged on their style, performance and star quality. The winner of Mr World will take home a cash prize of $50,000 USD and the opportunity of lucrative contracts.[1]

Events that this year’s contestants will participate in will include the Extreme Sports Challenge, where their stamina and physical endurance be pushed to the limit as they have to conquer a well known Korean landmark and the Korean Cooking Challenge, where the men will try their hand at cooking local delicacies. The 2 hour television broadcast will showcase the beautiful country of Korea, to over 100 countries, highlighting its spectacular scenery, fascinating history and diverse culture as our nations travel the country to face each new challenge.[1]
