On behalf of The Authority Productions (TAP), I wish to express my sincerest gratitude to the global community of male pageantry and modeling supporters for the overwhelming love and encouragement shown toward our candidates during two of the most prestigious international competitions in the world.
At the recently concluded 23rd Manhunt International held in Bangkok, Thailand, our representative Adonis Renaud brought immense pride to France by securing the coveted title. Simultaneously, at the Man of the World 2025 competition held in Manila, Philippines, Juul Missiaen earned a historic win for Spain.
To all our fellow national directors, colleagues, friends, and fans who extended their warm congratulatory messages—thank you for celebrating these milestones with us.
Many of the TAP representatives—including Juul and Adonis—came to Los Angeles prior to their competitions for focused preparation and personal training. During this time, I had the opportunity to understand each of them deeply—recognizing their strengths to enhance and their challenges to address. With the right training, guidance, and most importantly, their own willingness to listen, adapt, and grow, they entered their respective competitions ready—not just to compete, but to win.
While I was unable to accompany them in person during their final events, I was confident that they stepped onto those global stages fully equipped with the tools, mindset, and determination needed to succeed. Yet beyond preparation, success in pageantry also requires the unpredictable forces of timing, destiny, luck, and divine providence—and this year, the stars aligned for both Juul and Adonis. What once seemed improbable became reality.
This dual win echoes a previous landmark year for TAP in 2023, when our candidates claimed three back-to-back international titles: Mister Cosmopolitan, Man of the Year, and Great Man of the Universe. Every journey begins with hope—hope to make a mark, and dreams to rise above. We dared to hope for a victory at just one competition. To emerge triumphant in both Man of the World and Manhunt International—the world’s longest-running international male modeling competition—exceeded all expectations.
Many have asked why I wasn’t physically present at either competition. I am pleased to now share the reason.
Over the past few months, I have been working diligently on launching our next chapter—The Authority Model Management Agency (TAMM Agency), the official talent management arm of TAP. TAMM is now fully operational with offices in Manila, Los Angeles, and Brazil, and affiliate partners in France and Italy. This new endeavor aims to provide a nurturing and empowering platform for exceptional young talents—male and female—guiding them toward sustainable success in the modeling and entertainment industries.
Our Brazilian candidate at Man of the World 2025, Nyander de Souza, is already on his journey—currently working as a model in India. Both Juul and Adonis will soon return to Los Angeles to pursue runway modeling, acting workshops, and other professional opportunities now being finalized.
We move forward with full hearts and renewed purpose, knowing that every new endeavor begins with hope. As we take this bold step forward with TAMM, we remain committed to developing world-class talent and creating stories of global success.
Thank you once again for believing in our vision and in the remarkable individuals we are proud to call part of the TAP family.
Sincerely,
Joselli Rojas
