The complete list of nominees for The Pageantry Awards 2017 selected from all Big 5 and Next 5 pageants held in 2017.
ThePageantry.com officially launches this year the 1st Annual Pageantry Awards. This is an effort to recognize the best in the world of pageantry for the past year.
In its maiden edition, we have 8 competitive categories with 4 nominees each, to wit:
1. Best Preliminary Activities
2. Best Overall Candidates
3. Best Pageant Presenter
4. Best Stage
5. Best Final Show
6. Best in Evening Gown
7. Best in Swimsuit
8. Best Winner
All Big 5 and Next 5 pageants taking place in 2017 were considered entries, except for Miss Universe 2016. Miss Intercontinental 2017 is also absent among the considered pageants due to its cancellation and subsequent move to January 2018.
2017 has been a great year for beauty pageants. The year marked the first time that the Miss Universe pageant breached the 90 mark for the number of participating nations.
Miss World partnered with China’s Silk Road Initiatives, seeing better venues for its Fast Track events, albeit the delayed updates owing to the absence of Facebook and Twitter in mainland China.
On the other hand, Miss Earth maintained its 80 plus number of delegates but has greatly increased its broadcast partners. The pageant was aired live across four continents, aside from the fact that the first edition of Miss Earth Venezuela was a great success.
Considering everything, The Pageantry’s selection committee has filtered and screened all 10 pageants and came up with a very competitive list of nominees.
