Judging Criteria
From the Producer Documents:
On-stage Pop Questions (50 points)
Each contestant will draw a pop question, which they must answer during the Friday night contest. The questions will be written and provided by the producer of the Midwest Person of Leather Contest, with input from the judging panel.
Speech (75 points)
Each contestant is required to give a short speech (2 minutes or less) on the topic of their choice from the stage during the evening portion of the contest. If a contestant’s speech exceeds 2 minutes, the contestant will be allowed to continue with a live mic and the judges will be notified that the contestant went over time. The judges will not penalize the contestants for going over and will judge them on the quality and content of the speech. The deduction will be made by the Tallymaster to the final composite speech score as follows: Overtime by 1 second to 15 seconds (No penalty); Overtime by 16 seconds to 60 seconds (5 points deducted); Overtime by 61 seconds or more (10 points deducted). The contestants are permitted to have helpers in the audience indicating time markers during the speeches. The judges will not penalize the contestants in any way for making use of timekeepers.
Interview (200 points)
Interviews will be limited to 15 minutes. Questions are likely to focus on community contribution, leather history and personal history. However, questions addressing broader leather/BDSM topics are also appropriate. Questions about sex or play with any of the judges are inappropriate; do not ask them. Also, avoid asking contestants to name something about each judge.
Fantasy (75 points)
The fantasy is a staged erotic production descriptive of and/or based on at least one fetish. Contestants will be scored on the creativity they use in the fantasy and how well they engage the audience. The fantasy should be 3-5 minutes. If a contestant’s fantasy exceeds 5 minutes, the contestant will be allowed to continue with a live mic and the judges will be notified that the contestant went over time. The judges will not penalize the contestants for going over, the deduction will be made by the Tallymaster to the final composite speech score as follows: Overtime by 1 seconds to 15 seconds (No penalty); Overtime by 16 seconds to 60 seconds (5 points deducted); Overtime by 61 seconds or more (10 points deducted).
Leather Lifestyle (100 points)
Contestants will be observed by the judges throughout the weekend, both in and out of formal contest events, and will be judged on how they present themselves and interact with the public, how they interact with their fellow contestants, and how they represent themselves as a Person of Leather. Judging in this category begins Friday evening when the contestants introduce themselves and draw their numbers at the Midwest Leather and Kink Alliance Opening Ceremonies. The judging sheet for this category will be turned in at the end of the contest on Saturday night, to be tallied with the scores for the other categories.
