‘Fast Track Challenges…

As has been the case for the past several years, Miss World will conduct a series of Fast Track Events throughout the 4 weeks that the contestants are present. Winning a Fast Track means a place in the Top 40! These will consist of…

Multimedia– A chance for contestants to show off their social media skills, their ability to promote and market themselves and the Miss World brand, and their presentation skills. Contestants will utilize their official Facebook Pages, official Twitter accounts, and the recently introduced MobStar App to garner attention from around the world.

Talent– From magic to dance and singing to violin, the Miss World Talent competition is a cornerstone of the Miss World Festival. Contestants will audition for our esteemed talent judges for a chance to win the Talent Fast Track and may even perform at the Miss World Final.

Top Model– A new format for the Miss World Top Model competition! We will be on the search for the ambassador of an advertising campaign. A top photographer will photograph our contestants and they will be judged on their ability to represent a brand.

Sports– Past editions of Miss World have had the contestants running, swimming, jumping, crunching, throwing, kicking, and so much more. The women’s physical abilities will be pushed to the limits through a series of individual and group physical competitions. The contestants must be prepared for anything and everything.

Beauty with a Purpose– The Fast Track event that needs no introduction. Beauty with a Purpose has raised over 1 billion dollars for charities around the world. Contestants will each present their unique charitable projects through a video presentation to a panel VIP judges. The most innovative and impactful projects will be featured and the best project given the final Fast Track Spot.
