After three years of Mr Gay Pride Australia which has seen three top ten finishes at Mr Gay World including a win and the development of many emerging LGBT leaders, the competition is set to continue its growth with the announcement that global review platform Trustpilot has signed on as major sponsor.

Mr Gay Pride Australia is a competition designed to find, build, and develop future leaders within the LGBTI community in Australia. Winners of each year’s event become the official representative for Australia at the annual Mr Gay World competition which this year held it’s 11th final week in Cape Town South Africa.

In 2017 David Francis carried the baton to Spain and placed seventh, in 2018 Jordan Bruno won both the Australian and World titles, becoming the first to do so and this year Rad Mitic also placed seventh in a highly competitive final.
