Michigan Leather Pride

Michigan

When:

October

Website:

Title Contest:

Michigan Leather Pride

Title(s):

MI Leather Pride Ms, Mx, Sir, boy, BB

About 

From the website: Michigan Leather Pride Weekend has been in existence since late 2019, after the dissolution of the Great Lakes Leather Alliance regional contest and its associated Michigan feeder, GLLA-MI, produced by SIR Merrill.


Our inaugural contest weekend in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID19 pandemic. In November 2021, a one day education and party event was held, without a title contest. MLPW was proud to host a COVID19 booster clinic at its 2021 event, continuing a long tradition of leather folks being at the vanguard of public health advocacy and awareness.


October 2022 will mark our first year hosting the Michigan title contests for Sir, boy, Ms. and Bootblack as well as hosting the inaugural contest for Michigan’s first non-binary title, Mx. Michigan Leather Pride.

Opportunities

Title Contest(s)

There are no gender or sexual orientation requirements for any title, however each contestant must personally identify with the title and feel confident and comfortable in representing that community for a title year. Contestants must be 21+ by the contest weekend and must consent to a criminal background check.


Contest Applications due in September.
