Little Miss & Mister United World, originally known as the International Children’s Festival “Little Miss World” , was founded by Natalya Kovalyova as Festival for girls and boys from 5 to 14 years of age, it was established at the turn of the millennium in 2000 and was formed with the goal of creating a new nation of talented, educated, friendly and motivated children. Its objective was to gather representatives from all over the world for the annual children’s festival, in order to strengthen the friendly ties between their various countries, to discover and explore the world’s cultural heritage and to present the delegates individual talents.

The festival is unique because of its harmonious symbiosis of personal qualities, creativity and active ecological position. One of the main rounds of the festival is the talent presentation. Another key round is the presentation of an ecological project by each contestant, which was assessed by a professional international jury.

Each of the countries sharing our planet has significant cultural heritage. Little Miss & Mister United World unites the diversity and beauty of these heritage from every corner of our globe. ”Children are able to touch the deepest strings of our hearts. Their talent conquers and disarms, gives joy and delight.”

All festival participants receive personal nomination, crowns, crystal trophies, gifts from the various partners of the festival. The winner also receive money tranches to develop their talents and environmental projects in their country.

This year the competitions was held on the scenic volcanic island of Tenerife, which is located in the breathtaking Canary Islands, the beautiful and contrasting tropical island is replete with all sorts of beaches: wild or well equipped, with white or black volcanic sand and pebbles, and national parks with incredible views and fabulous mountain gorges altitude of almost 4000 meters, say that to go there, is as if you are touching the sky. The island is also known for whale and dolphin watching and was the perfect setting for the Little Miss and Mister United World’s this year.

The first day of competition entitled Friendship Day saw all delegates along with their parents being presented in a colorful celebration of love, joy and camaraderie, as they proudly showcased their countries.

Performances Day on the second day saw all delegates presenting their talents in various categories that included vocals, dance etc. both Ilyn and Elyn performed the Paso Doble in well-choreographed routines that was among the audiences favorites , in their respective categories.

Pirate Day was probably the most fun day for the delegates as they got to sail the seven seas on board on actual 17^th century replica of sailing ship, in actual pirate costumes and recreate scenes from Pirates of Caribbean, but themed as Pirate of Canary Islands.

The grandest moments for the delegates was, of course, the spectacular Awards Gala Night, which saw our outstanding young Malaysian delegates creating history.
