Are You the Next Global Icon?

Not at all. First-time contestants compete every year alongside veterans, and many of our titleholders competed for the very first time when they won their crown. We welcome beginners and send you a full preparation guide after registration.

Entry fees vary by division and registration window. Register now and our team will send you a full breakdown with no hidden fees. Early registration typically offers the best rates.

Each segment has specific attire requirements: a floor-length gown for evening wear (Jr. Miss and above), a fitness outfit or athletic wear for younger divisions in the swimwear/fitness segment, and a dress or pantsuit for the interview. We send you a full attire guide after registration.

Our judges are selected for their professionalism, industry experience, and commitment to fair evaluation. All judges receive the same scoring criteria that contestants receive — we believe in complete transparency. Judge bios are published in advance of each event.

Yes — family support is part of the experience. Spectator tickets are available and families are warmly encouraged to attend. Full ticket details will be announced as we approach the event date. Keep an eye on our Events page.

Division winners receive an official reigning title, a signature crown, and a sash. Titleholders also receive media exposure through our official channels and are featured prominently in our next event. Special category awards are also presented throughout the competition.

Our youngest division starts at age 4 (Global Icon Princess). We also have divisions all the way through adulthood — including Ms., Mrs., Elite (46+), and Plus divisions. There truly is a place for everyone on our stage.

Global Icon Pageants operates in a modern, fashion-forward environment — not heavy-glitz. We focus on age-appropriate elegance, personal presentation, and authentic personality rather than extreme makeup or elaborate costuming. Think editorial, not theatrical.

We understand that life happens. Our cancellation and refund policy is communicated clearly at registration. Let us know as early as possible if your plans change and we'll do our best to work with you.

The official host hotel is Alexis Park Resort, Las Vegas. Book directly at alexispark.com and use group code GICLV26 to access the contestant/guest rate. The resort is all-suite and offers a relaxed, upscale atmosphere just minutes from the Strip.

Every contestant competes within their own age division, and judging is based on published criteria that both contestants and judges receive in advance. No contestant is compared across divisions. Preparation, personality, and presence matter far more than prior experience.

Absolutely. We have dedicated Mr. Global Icon and Junior Mr. Global Icon divisions for male contestants. All genders are welcome and celebrated on our stage.
