Mr Gay Europe 2017
The Mr Gay Europe competition will be happening soon, and in the meantime the names of contestants from different countries are popping.
The competition will start off in August and the annual pageant will take place in Stockholm, Sweden for the first time this year.
There will be several phases of the competition from testing the participants on their knowledge of LGBTQ facts /history, a public speech portion, a team challenge, an athletic portion, a photo-op, social media challenges, LGBTQ campaign presentations, and more.
Perhaps the most highlighted section of the competition will be the panel interview. That's because of the seven judges who will be talking to the contestants like Austin Armacost of Celebrity Big Brother who will be present.
Hundreds of people registered to take part in the competition, but only a few were chosen. And then only one will become Mr Gay Europe and act as The European LGBTI Ambassador.
