Tibet Sun/Lobsang WangyalBy Lobsang WangyalThe maiden staging of Mr Tibet contest is all set for a three-day show in the exile Tibetan capital of McLeod Ganj this weekend. Speaking to Tibet Sun, Tashi said that he conceived the idea of organising the Mr Tibet contest eight months ago with the motives of creating health consciousness and letting young Tibetan men fulfil their dreams to be a Mr Tibet. “There is a Miss Tibet Pageant, but why not a Mr Tibet contest, I wondered many years ago,” Choephel says. When his friends heard about the Mr Tibet contest, he was informed about it, and was also encouraged to participate in it.
