Mister USA 2008 - The Prizes

Becca Bousquet started assisting in her mid-teens, and went on to study at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University. You can find her shooting anywhere from a dentist's office to a tropical beach. MISTER USA is happy to have Becca again as the official photographer and sponsor for the second year in a row.

Holly H. Hardwick Productions, Inc. is the official sash designer and sponsor of the MISTER USA PAGEANT. Holly Hardwick has been in business for over 25 years designing the finest quality products for major stores, pageant systems and the royalty of the world. With a showroom on Fifth Avenue, NYC, for fifteen years, she is most well known for her custom crowns, tiaras, scepters, sashes, jewelry and accessories. Holly has been featured in the news media and on television as the “Queen of Crowns”; such as: Fox News New York, People Magazine, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Southern Lady Magazine. Her website, “Royal Indulgences” boasts the largest collection of crown motif jewelry on the internet. The Mister USA Sash is made of the finest bridal quality satin. It is unique in many senses. It is custom cut to wrap around the neck so that it falls down the front of the body, rather than a typical sash which wraps around the back to the front. The wording on the sash is embroidered in a vertical fashion, rather than the typical horizontal design. Holly’s factory also produces the sashes for Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA, Mrs. Globe, Mrs., Miss, and Teen International, and National Teenager pageants.

SportsmenAsia.com, based in Singapore, is the official swimwear sponsor of Mister Singapore, Mister International, and now Mister USA. The new Mister USA will receive a $500 gift certificate that he may use to purchase any product sold in SportsmenAsia's online store.

Vegan Essentials is a purveyor of vegan and animal cruelty-free products based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. They will provide this year's Mister USA contestants with delicious and nutritious vegan treats.

Héctor Joaquín Blog is run by Héctor Joaquín Colón González, who is the director of Belleza Crítica, the Spanish-language edition of Critical Beauty. HJ Blog has recently been selected by Global Beauties as one of the best four blogs on pageantry. This year, HJ Blog is delighted to sponsor the Mister Internet award.

Reynaldo José Flores is a young, 21-year-old fashion designer from Caguas, Puerto Rico. He is also a stylist, a jewelry designer, and illustrator, and a fashion design instructor. The top five Mister USA candidates will each receive an original necklace designed by Reynaldo José.
