Mr. and Miss International OU
2015 Pageant Application
Meacham Auditorium in the Oklahoma Memorial Union
IAC welcomes you to participate our annual Mr. and Miss International OU pageant! It is a free
event open to all and a great way to spread appreciation of OU's international culture.
The contestants will represent OU's international diversity with a cultural attire fashion show
with a brief cultural presentation, talent show, and interview in front of three judges.
The winners of Mr. and Miss International OU will represent OU’s international students for
one calendar year. In addition to a cash prize and gift cards the winner will be recognized on
stage and in the program book at the 45th Annual Eve of Nations, which will be at the Lloyd
Noble Center at Friday, 7pm, April 17th. We will also be provided free tickets to Eve of Nations
as well as having PANAM host a party in honor of the winner. They may also be recognized at
OU’s homecoming parade in October and other events throughout the year. Additionally,
winners of each category (cultural fashion show and presentation, talent show, and interview)
will be recognized.
These applications will be kept confidential between the International Advisory Committee
members, advisor, and the Mr. and Miss International pageant judges.
