‘Studio 9 International’ has reached another milestone in Sri Lanka’s pageant industry, celebrating 25 years of grooming beauty queens and kings with the launch of a new national platform, ‘Young Miss’ and ‘Mr. Sri Lanka’.
The event, organised by Studio 9 International under its new initiative Pageantry Mall, was unveiled at Colombo 7 recently. The concept aims to introduce a professional and credible national contest at a time when the local pageantry scene is crowded with unofficial and short-lived competitions.
The launch received strong media backing, while corporate partners included ‘Mr Goodlook, Lora Collagen’ and ‘La Parfumerie’.
Winners of Young Miss and Mr. Sri Lanka will represent the country at five major international competitions in 2026.
One of the highlights is Miss Tourism International, set to take place in China this July. The globally recognised contest, which celebrates its 29th anniversary this year, brings together contestants from around 40 countries. Sri Lanka will proudly participate for the 15th consecutive year.

Another key platform is Miss and Mr Heritage International in Thailand, where both male and female delegates will showcase Sri Lanka’s rich cultural heritage on the global stage.
The female winner will also compete at Miss Petite Sri Lanka, promoting the message that height is no barrier to success or confidence.
Meanwhile, male winners will head to Masters of the World and Mister of the Universe, scheduled to be held in Philippines and Malaysia, giving contestants an international launchpad to showcase personality, talent and leadership in both prime and masters categories.
With this new initiative, Studio 9 International hopes to strengthen Sri Lanka’s presence in global pageantry while creating a professional pathway for the next generation of beauty ambassadors.
