SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- International pageant leader and founder of the Mrs. Earth®, Ms. Earth®, Mrs. USA Earth®, and Ms. USA Earth™ organizations, Mykhael Michaels, has been honored with the prestigious “Best

Director | Producer Under 25” award at the Global Beauty Awards (GBAs), one of the premier honors in the pageant and beauty industries.

This recognition follows a major win just one week prior, where Michaels was named “Best Big Time Pageant Director” at the Black Pageant Awards™—marking a powerful series of back-to-back achievements and reinforcing his leadership within the global pageant community.

The Global Beauty Awards ceremony was held at the Seattle Marriott Bellevue in Washington, serving as the official host venue for this year’s event.

“Being recognized among the top leaders in the global pageantry community is both humbling and deeply meaningful. This win belongs to my entire organization—my dedicated team, valued sponsors, my queens past and present, and the many delegates who have trusted my vision.”

Produced by NW Productions, LLC, the Global Beauty Awards is the only global platform of its kind, honoring individuals across pageantry, beauty, fashion, entertainment, business, and beyond. The awards recognize excellence among entrepreneurs, students, healthcare professionals, multicultural leaders, and individuals from underrepresented communities.

The GBAs extend far beyond the stage—providing opportunities for education, empowerment, and support for individuals at every stage of their journey, including veterans, foster care alumni, and those who have overcome significant life challenges.

In 2026, the Global Beauty Awards made history by earning the AVA Digital Awards Platinum Award for Social Impact in the Digital Creation & Emerging Media category—further solidifying its impact and leadership on a global scale. Since its inception, the organization has awarded more than $100,000 in cash, scholarships, and prizes.
