Due to the way in which the local LGBT community has embraced and supported Philadelphia Mr. Gay over the last several years, in addition to the city's rising profile as an acclaimed destination for LGBT leisure travelers, the Noble Beast Foundation's Board was thrilled to award their contest to the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. This marks the first time that the United States National Mr. Gay Competition will take place on the east coast.
Mr. Gay United States brings together 20 US Finalists representing the nation's most prestigious cities, a wide variety of celebrity judges, performers, and hosts, as well as spectators from all around the country. A series of competitive categories and performances will culminate in the naming of the 2011 US Mr. Gay titleholder. The winner of this Competition will go on to compete as the US Delegate to the International Mr. Gay (IMG) Competition Grand Finale in December. The IMG Competition is the largest and oldest running international contest to select an ambassador or spokesman to support the mission of the event's beneficiary, the Noble Beast Foundation.
Photos and Profiles of all Finalists and event details are listed online at www.MrGayCompetition.com and it's also just been announced that Logo is coordinating a U.S. Mr. Gay Sweepstakes, details at http://www.tripoutgaytravel.com/sweepstakes-mr-gay/, which includes round-trip airfare for you and a guest on Southwest Airlines, two-nights at the Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, VIP tickets to the U.S. Mr. Gay competition and VIP access to the meet-and-greet event attended by all of the contestants.
