# Misters of Puerto Rico

Mister Puerto Rico is the common name or sash used to identify a Puerto Rican representative in an international male beauty pageant. Several organizations have held annual male pageants in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Currently, Mister Puerto Rico Model and Mister Puerto Rico Teenager are the most important male beauty pageant events. Each year both events are held to select the representatives from the island.

## Misters of Puerto Rico

Misters of Puerto Rico is considered the largest, most important and prestigious event of fashion and male beauty in Puerto Rico. Throughout its history, this event has consolidated as a solid local and international prestige. The aim of Mister Puerto Rico is to present a series of exhibitions and developmental workshops for the Puerto Rican male. The Misters of Puerto Rico organization aims to develop personal and professional growth of the modern man. In 2016, the two largest male pageant organizations in Puerto Rico were merged when Mister Puerto Rico International, led by Miguel Deliz, was incorporated into Mister International Puerto Rico, led by Rubén Díaz.
While there are multiple local pageant agencies, Nuestra Belleza Puerto Rico, (Our Beauty Puerto Rico), is the one in charge of sending representatives to the international competitions.
