To be the last man standing in Mr Gay Europe, you should collect as many points as possible in as many challenges as possible. Some challenges are vectored more than others (the information on this is posted online prior to the competition); the most important ones are “The interview”, “Stage performance”, “The last question” and “Swim Wear”.
