The contest was sponsored by the University of the Virgin Islands\u2019 Office of Student Activities and held in the Cafeteria on the Albert A. Sheen Campus on St. Croix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0\u201cMy Mr. Incredible experience was way more fun than I thought it would be, and it forced me outside my comfort zone. At first I only did it because my girlfriend was making me do it, but it turned into something I wanted to try since this is my last semester at UVI,\u201d Mr. Krigger said. \u201cI felt many challenges leading up to the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Mr. Krigger recalls some of the challenges he faced throughout the competition which includes lost luggage and coming up with material for one of the competition\u2019s segments. He also shared doubts about his own victory. However, he was elated to share these experiences with other incredible men from UVI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe energy and feedback I\u2019ve gotten just from participating in the competition was amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cNow that I\u2019ve won the competition, that energy and feedback has increased; thus motivating me to make sure I use my title to make a positive impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Mr. Incredible contest was created with the vision of showcasing the talent and empowering young men at the University. The third Mr. Incredible contest, a University based initiative, will allow male contenders to develop leadership skills, confidence, and networking skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Mr. Incredible, Amali Krigger, was awarded a $500 cash prize, and first runner up Matthew Perry received a $200 cash prize. The Mr. Incredible competition was presented by the Office of Student Activities on the Sheen Campus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIt was a great experience. I learned a lot about myself as a student, as an artist, and as a competitor. It provided a chance to bond with my competitors, where I originally may not have,\u201d said Mr. Perry. \u201cIt was an amazing opportunity and I would recommend it to anyone interested. Ten out of 10.\u201d Mr. Perry, a freshman mass communication major, also won the title of Mr. Intellect and won Best Pick-up Line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0\u201cThe highlight of the show was when the guys and I huddled backstage right before the official results were announced,\u201d said contender number one is Andre Joseph, a junior accounting major. \u201cSpecial thanks to all who worked hard to make this show successful, and a special thanks to those in attendance for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Contender number four is Josinio Andrew, a sophomore criminal justice major won the Best 60\u2019s SWAG Wear segment of the show and won the People\u2019s Choice Award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;Mister Incredible was a great success, said Kevin Dixon, coordinator of Student Activities. \u201cThe creativity the contenders showed in the various sections was a commendable representation of themselves and the university.
