Manhunt International Titleholders
Manhunt International began in 1993, though the roots of the pageant go back a few years more to when one single national preliminary was held in Singapore.
The first two international pageants were held in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, the third in Singapore. The fourth pageant was scheduled for December, 1996, but several international trade conferences and national elections pushed the pageant back.
The 1997 pageant was held one week after the Miss Universe Pageant, and television ratings for Manhunt International were higher than those of Miss Universe in the pageant's homeland of Singapore. The contest has since traveled across Asia, and has been presented live from China and the Philippines in recent years.
