History

edit

The pageant began in 2011, but it was not until 2012 that its CEO and founder, Mila Manuel, officially registered the company, Face of Beauty International Ltd., in Auckland, New Zealand.[4] The first international event was held in 2012, titled Miss Teen Face of Beauty International, and featured over 14 contestants from various countries and territories. It took place at the Valentine Garden Resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In 2013, the pageant adopted its current name, Face of Beauty International. Face of Beauty International is a global beauty pageant that emphasizes international tourism, public entertainment, and the promotion of a clean and safe environment for all living beings.[5][6]

The age range for contestants is 15 to 24 years old, with no restrictions on height or weight. The event promotes an end to violence against women and the protection of vulnerable individuals. It aims to develop young leaders.[7] Contestants participate in charity events, workshops, symposiums, and competitions in categories such as swimwear, national costume, and evening gown. They also take part in activities throughout the host country.[8][9] In 2015, the Teen Face of Beauty International title was introduced as an additional award given on the same night as the main event.[10]
