MANHUNT INTERNATIONAL 2019 WORLD FINAL & VIETNAM

Manhunt International Announcement, Manhunt 2019

Rosko Dickinson, Executive President of Manhunt International Organization today made the following announcement regarding the MANHUNT INTERNATIONAL 2019 WORLD FINAL & VIETNAM:

 

To all our Manhunt International friends and supporters in Vietnam. As you know we recently announced the cancelation our 2019 World Final hosting agreement with our Vietnamese friends & partners Leading Media.


Firstly, let me say there is absolutely no problem between Manhunt International and Leading Media and that we are still very good friends and have a great working relationship for Manhunt International in Vietnam.

 

Leading Media have been trying very hard to obtain the necessary government permit that would allow us to hold the World Final in their beautiful country in 2019. The process so far has taken over twelve months, and at the time of canceling the agreement there was no guarantee the permit would be granted in the time needed to allow us to properly promote and organize the World Final. To this end It was mutually agreed to officially cancel our agreement so that we could negotiate in good faith with other countries to secure a home for the 2019 World Final.

 

Once again Manhunt International and Leading Media have a very strong and sound relationship and we will be supporting their upcoming 2019 Mr. Vietnam contest and look forward to welcoming their winner to the Manhunt International 2019 World Final.

 

Manhunt International and Leading Media are working very hard to obtain the necessary permit to hopefully host the 2020 World Final in Vietnam and this is my hope and wish.

IMPORTANT WORLD FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Manhunt International Announcement, Manhunt 2019

Image

Rosko Dickinson, Executive President of Manhunt International Organization today made the following announcement regarding the MANHUNT INTERNATIONAL 2019 WORLD FINAL:

As you probably are aware the Manhunt International 2019 World Final was scheduled to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in November 2019. Unfortunately, over the past months it has become very apparent that the application process for the government permit will take much,


much longer than I had been originally advised. Furthermore, the host organizer in Vietnam cannot provide me with a solid guarantee that the government permit required to host the World Final will be forthcoming, and as such there is a very strong chance Vietnam won’t be in a position to host the 2019 World Final.

With this in mind, and to make sure our many valued National Directors and supporters are not disadvantaged I have made the decision to cancel our agreement with Vietnam and pursue other options. I can tell you now I am already in negotiations with interested parties and are confident we will be in a position to announce the new 2019 host country very soon. I am even more confident that the eventual successful bidder and new host country will provide a memorable World Final that will leave us with memories that we will talk about for many years to come.

Stay tuned for an exciting announcement.

Manhunt International 2018 to be held in Gold Coast, Australia

Manhunt International Announcement

Rosko Dickinson, Executive President of Manhunt International Organization, today announced that Gold Coast, Australia, will be the new host city for the 2018 Edition of Manhunt International.

The Manhunt International World Final host country was recently announced to be held in Vietnam in March 2019. It has now become apparent over the past three months that the application process for the government permit is going to take much longer than we had been advised, and there is a very strong chance the scheduled time frame of March 2019 might not be possible. With this in mind and to make sure our National Directors and Supporters are not disadvantaged we have made the following important decisions:

The Good News:

The 2018 World Final will now be held on the fabulous Gold Coast, Australia from Monday 26th November to Sunday 2nd December.

The first ever Manhunt International World Final was held in 1993 in Gold Coast and it’s fitting that 25 years later it returns to the place where it was born.

The official hotel is already confirmed and will be the magnificent Q1 Resort & Spa – Gold Coast. Special accommodation rates are available to family and friends if they visit q1.com.au and enter the discount booking code MAN18. All other events are being planned and the itinerary will be finalized in September. Expect to see Australian favorites including Kangaroos, Surfing, BBQ and Beach activities.

More Good News:

It’s very rare that any pageant can plan for two years, but by making this change everyone can forward plan with confidence for the 2019 Manhunt International World Final. The change and rescheduling means that the 2019 World Final will now be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in November 2019.

This is the first time in the history of Manhunt International, and possibly all other Male and Female Competitions, that two World Final dates and host countries have been announced together.

2018 MANHUNT INTERNATIONAL WORLD FINAL
GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA - Monday 26th November to Sunday 2nd December 2018
