Over the years, we are always stunned by both local and international beauty pageant events. Being amazed by each candidate who is confidently serenading the stage with their beauty and strong persona enlightens our mood whenever they are standing in front of the stage. Watching beauty pageant contestants makes every audience entertained whenever a candidate displays their great bodies, which are normally chiseled to bring amusement. Each candidate who shows a superb confidence in front of the stage usually have the highest chances of winning the pageant event.
Since 2015, pageant organizers operating in both national and international pageants made a drastic change in the world of beauty pageants. This is in particular with the "Question and Answer" criteria portion of the pageant. The Miss Universe and the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageants have recently changed their respective pageant's criteria. So starting this season, they will select a set of deserving delegates who will be fulfilling the new requirement to succeed the reigning queens who will be passing their throne. For younger pageant fanatics, this will be a new milestone because they will start witnessing a beauty pageant event that advocates a certain cause that differently represents a pageant that gives a true essence of a certain beauty pageant.
A beauty pageant is an entertainment event wherein there will be a competition that will judge a certain participant based on their physical attributes. This includes beauty and physical attractiveness that exudes the pleasing personality of a contestant. Aside from their physical attributes, a contestant will be undergoing a test wherein they will undergo an intellectual challenge by means of answering a question. The candidate that garnered the highest scores from the weighted average from different criteria will eventually win the pageant.
Each beauty pageant has their respective advocacies. For Miss Universe, it is all about being a good ambassadress by acting as a conduit for humanitarian assistance. Miss World advocates beauty with a purpose for being a role model to other individuals. Miss International seeks to devote love and peace as a beauty queen who symbolizes hope and understanding across the world. Miss Earth advocates environmental preservation and conservation across the globe. Miss Grand International is advocating against the war and atrocities that continue to haunt several countries due to false ideologies.
Pageant fans believe that changing the format is representing how versatile each pageant is. When basing on the past formats, you will notice that beauty pageant was very different, given that the past culture influenced how pageants were organized and presented. Organizers are now looking forward to a new style of presentation wherein the real essence of a pageant's purpose is fully maximized.

This is similar for male pageants wherein a winner is ready to return the favor to the public after gaining fame, integrity, a new role, and a brand that is regarded a one time opportunity and attainment in their lives. Winning a pageant is not only representing how beautiful you are. A winner must have to be the center of inspiration by being the initiator of change to the younger generation.
