Contests & Cons
One of the initial goals of MyLeatherLife was to make Leather contests more accessible. Previously, the events have been discordant and you had to be from the area or happen to hear about it through a friend on Fetlife. Leather title contests also would have deadlines far before the con, and qualified candidates wouldn't be aware of the submission dates until long after they passed. We hope to bring together most of the major contests and conventions into one place. Please note, we are not directly affiliated with any contest or event- we are simply archivists bringing this information together.
