## Contestants Selection

Local organizations that wish to select the Mister Teen Indonesia contestant for their provinces must submit bids to the IMP Organization for that right. Occasionally, the traditional license holder for a particular provinces may lose its bid, as has happened in Sumatera Utara, Kalimantan Barat and Jawa Tengah.
Usually a province's contestant selection involves pageants in major cities, with the winners competing in a provincial pageant, but this does not always occur. This happens due to circumstances beyond the control of the regional director (i.e., political unrest). Such “online auditions” are generally discouraged by the IMP Organization, which prefers regional pageants that preserve an aura of respectability and competition.
Some of the most successful regional pageants in first edition have been Riau, Sumatera, Jambi, and Jawa Timur. Currently, the organization makes continual efforts to expand the pageant, but the participation of some provinces such as the east Indonesian has proven difficult due to commitment, while others have balked at sending representatives due to the cost such as Maluku.

## Main Pageant

The pageant period is not too long due to the commandment from the National Government which remain the contestants are in educational phases. According to the organizers, the Mister Teen Indonesia contest is more than a male pageant: Teen Boy to become Mister Teen Indonesia must be intelligent, well-mannered, and cultured. Often a candidate has lost because he did not have a good answer during the question responses rounds; although this section of competition has held less importance during recent pageants than it did in the twentieth century.
The winner is assigned a one-year contract with the IMP Organization, going to many provinces to spread messages about the public awareness of AIDS, ASEAN Community, and provisional charity.
