The ceremony was presented by Rita Harb, while the Lebanese Singer Yara sang her latest songs. Moreover, the choreographer Marcelino Gebrayel danced "Zumba" on stage along with his team. 





It is to be noted that the Lebanese channel MTV will be broadcasting this ceremony, directed by Kamil Tanios, on Thursday, September 10, 2015, after the Prime Time News.  Farid Mattar, Mr. Lebanon 2015, is twenty five years old. Originating from Al-Naameh village, he holds a diploma in accounting, and works as a sales manager at a Lebanese Shipping company.  Eighteen Lebanese young men participated in this contest. 



Ten only were qualified for the first stage that consisted of answering a question asked by a jury member. The result was qualifying five men only to the final stage of the contest.  The jury gathered different political and media personalities: the ex-minister Elie Marouni, the presenter Paula Yaacoubian, the plastic surgeon Dr. Nader Saab, ex-Miss Lebanon Rosarita Tawil, the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism delegate Racha Abou Haouili, the cosmetic dentist Dr. Joe Karam, Aroma Spa owner Laurence Karout, photographer Jean Claude Bejjani, "GNC" center owner Wafa' Saikaly, and Artist Jane Mary Konsol.  




The unified jury question was: "In your opinion, is the Lebanese Civil Society able to change and control things in Lebanon? How?"  Farid Mattar's answer was the most relevant one, as he said: "Change is hard to impose, but we can't simply ignore people from different religions and Lebanese regions protesting together. This means success. It also means future change. 



I think we should work seriously on improving our social lives, developing education, ensuring access to water and electricity, implementing Social Security laws and Old-Age Security Pension. However, the political rulers must be changed so we get rid of political sectarianism in Lebanon and allow efficient people to reach these offices and positions."  The jury graded the answers of each of the five contestants and elected Mr. Lebanon and his runner up accordingly.  Mr. Lebanon is a yearly contest involving the participation of young men aging from 18 to 27 years old. 



A minimum requirement of undergraduate studies is requested to participate in this contest. This contest allows Mr. Lebanon and his runner up to participate in International men contests as Mr. World, Mr. International, and Mr. Man Hunt, among others.
