We are thrilled to have his support.”

And there is more! The winner of Manhunt International Bahamas will be awarded the selection of clothing he models; will be featured in a professional photo campaign for the designer; And will have the honour of walking the runway in New York Men’s Fashion Week!

When the inaugural edition of Manhunt Bahamas was held in September 2012, it was the organizations dream to provide young men with an opportunity for international exposure and growth towards a career as a model. 
Two young men were afforded such an opportunity – the 2012 Manhunt Bahamas winner, Drew Palacious and his runner up, the Mister Bahamas International 2012 title holder, Pedro Mejias both competed on international stages in Bangkok, Thailand as they represented the Bahamas at Manhunt International and Mister International respectively.


Seven contestants are being unveiled for 2013 titles, and in the running thus far are Antonio Cash of Eleuthera; Pablo Higgs of Nassau; James Bethel of Nassau; and Devaughn Gow of Grand Bahama. Three more contestants will be announced in the coming weeks.
