Hundreds of men's beauty pageants are conducted yearly, but the Big Seven are considered the most prestigious, widely covered and broadcast by media . Various news agencies collectively refer to the seven major pageants as "Big Seven" namely: Manhunt International , Mister World , Mister International , Mister Universe, Mister Global , Mister Supranational and Man of the World .
The criteria for the Big Seven inclusion are based on specific standards such as the pageant's international prominence and prestige accepted by mainstream media; the quality and quantity of crowned delegates recognized by international franchisees; the winner's post pageant activities; the pageant's longevity, consistency, and history; the execution of the pageant's specific cause, platform, and advocacy; the overall pre-pageant activities, production quality and global telecast; the enormity of internet traffic; and the extent of popularity across the globe.
