Back by popular demand, Hyphen presents the 3rd annual Mr. Hyphen competition. Mr. Hyphen gives us a chance to celebrate the men of the Asian American community who devote their efforts to worthy community organizations — and to have a lot of fun while we do it.

Giving the underrated Asian male his due celebration, Hyphen will invite contestants from Asian American nonprofits all over the country. Contestants will strut their stuff in fashion, talent, and a rousing Q&A — all in the name of winning a $1,000 prize donation to their chosen nonprofit organization. Rounds will be decided alternately by an audience vote and by an illustrious panel of judges.

The event is not only a fundraiser for Hyphen, itself a not-for-profit organization, but also for the organizations our contestants represent.
