A Communal Quest to Find and Celebrate Beauty
18+ · Licensed bar · Every drink buys a vote
Half glamour, half nonsense, all for charity. Here's how the crown gets won.
250 seats, that's it. Your ticket covers the venue and gets you in the room for the show of the year.
1 Drink = 1 Vote
1 Non-alcoholic Drink = 2 Votes
All profits go to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
The organisers woke up one day and thought, “What would Donald Trump hate most in the world?” Our answer was a beauty pageant that celebrates whatever a room full of self-appointed judges decides beauty to be. The only requirement for entry is that you want to be crowned Melbourne's Most Beautiful Man.
As well as the 12 Most Beautiful Men displaying their talents, the night will feature musical performances by past winners Geoffrey O'Connor and Uncle Quentin.
All profits from the night go to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre — Australia's largest human rights organisation supporting people seeking asylum. Since 2001 the ASRC has provided food, healthcare, legal help and pathways to work, and it takes no Federal Government funding, so every drink you buy really counts.
Your ticket covers the venue and gets you a seat for the crowning. The bar, raffle and merch raise the funds.
250 engaged locals, a night of buzz, and a feel-good cause to attach your name to. Full package available on request.
Bold, charming and up for a laugh is the only entry requirement. Nominate yourself or a mate — we'll be in touch when contestant applications open.
Pageant gear — every sale chips in for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. The store opens with the box office.
A blockbuster raffle runs all night — donated goodies, experiences and a headline prize. Want to donate a prize or pop your product in the goodie bag?
