PRESENTERS 2026
The mission of The Global Beauty Awards (TGBA) is to bring awareness to the pageant community and highlight the excellence of those involved. TGBA is your opportunity to become an official member to celebrate and elevate those that have or will be nominated worldwide. Exterior beauty has often been the focal point, but those involved can tell you first hand that pageantry is one of the greatest experiences for building confidence, speaking abilities, and learning how to properly network in professional settings. Pageant participants have become extremely successful as entrepreneurs in business, medicine, engineering, sports, television, movies, entertainment and so much more. TGBA earned 2025 Gold Honors with AVA Digital Awards for its Social Impact.
Starting off the weekend with the Influencers Dinner at SeaStar Restaurant in Bellevue, WA.
A wonderful evening spent with an international celebrity photographer, Fadil Berisha.
An iconic force in fashion and beauty photography, whose vision has shaped decades of visual culture and continues to define elegance across the industry.
From editorial pages to global campaigns, his lens has captured some of the world’s most recognizable faces, consistently elevating the art of storytelling through image.
A celebration of legacy, creativity, and enduring influence.
