World Outgames Antwerp 2013 and Mr Gay World (MGW) today announced a collaboration on producing the fifth annual Mr Gay World competition in the beautiful city of Antwerp, Belgium.

Mr Gay World will be held from 01-05 August 2013, with the grand finale closing off the first weekend of World Outgames celebrations.

Eric Butter, President of MGW, said, “We are proud to be working with the World Outgames as we both have similar objectives in creating opportunities for us to share that Gay Rights are Human Rights. Next year part of the competition will be participation in the World Outgames Equality Forum Human Rights Conference that will help our delegates learn from industry leaders, be inspired, make global contacts and to share their own stories as well as participation in Sports and Cultural festival.”

Co-founder of the worldOutgames Antwerp 2013, Jerko Bozikovic, says, “We are extremely proud to join our forces since both organisations share similar values, therefore it seemed only logical for us to collaborate in creating a high standard, life changing, and fun event. We look forward welcoming everyone to Antwerp in August 2013.”
