Miss Universe Organization warns against unauthorized events

The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) has warned against an unauthorized "Special Dinner & Talk Show" event, seemingly linked to its VP for Asiana, Nawat Itsaragrisil, which was promoted on the official Facebook and Instagram accounts of Miss Universe Thailand.

MUO clarified that any third-party activity using the Miss Universe name, logo, or branding without prior written authorization is a violation of intellectual property rights and brand integrity.

The organization stated that promotional materials, contests, or voting initiatives associated with the unauthorized event are misleading.

Miss Universe Thailand (MUT) has issued an official statement asserting that as the officially licensed Host Organization, they hold the rights to manage and execute promotional activities within their territory.

MUT explained that the "Like" voting campaign is an official part of the marketing package authorized for the Host Country, designed to determine which delegates will participate in specific activities.

According to MUT, MUO's earlier statement "has unfortunately led to public misunderstanding, despite the fact that our actions are fully within the rights and privileges granted to us as the official host."
