Tag Team Best Dressed
Theme: Two tone
Each duo chooses a complementary color palette to create their fashion story around. Come correct in an immaculately styled set of looks that unmistakably lets the judges know you came to the function to be the center of attention.
Face
Theme: Retro Radiance
Natural Face vs. Glam Face vs. Drag Face vs. Club Kid Face
Your face (and attire) must bring us back to the Studio 54 era - with your own personal twist. Create a look that shimmers and shines, and give us a creative reveal. Each style will walk for a trophy and winners will compete for a grand prize.
Bizarre
Theme: Fabulous Freaks
Calling all you queer freaks and creatures - show us your most over the top, fully realized monstrosity. We want to see the ultimate bizarre look that gives us a peek into your most radical self.
Hands Performance
Theme: Light Bender
Create an effect that makes your hands radiate, using any reflective material - mirrors, rhinestones, lamé, etc. Dazzle the judges with how you channel light between your palms. PLEASE NO LOOSE GLITTER!
Sex Siren
Theme: Show, Gurl
Calling all cabaret performers, showgirls, burlesque baddies, genderfluid gems, and tease artists. We want to see your most rhinestoned reveals! Get the judges attention with a glimmering look and slow burn performance that catches their eye. Make sure you save something special for the battle rounds!
Vogue Performance
Theme: Make a Statement
Any style: Vogue Fem, Old Way, New Way
How do you want to make a statement? Take this opportunity to use your performance to get a point across, maybe with a graphic tee, a protest sign, a reveal, or some other creative idea. Show the judges what you stand for and why you are here to vogue down.
Body
Theme: Show your Pride
Show the judges your pride and create a look of your choice that features any of the Pride flags that you identify with. Give us physique, form, curves, jiggle, muscles, and confidence – show us everything you’ve got!
Runway
Theme: Metallics
American vs. European
Give us a metallic themed fashion look and SELL THE GARMENT. Each style will walk for a trophy and winners will compete for a grand prize.
This event is created for and by Black & Brown Trans, Queer & Gender Non-conforming people. Ballroom has historically been a space for this community to gather and express themselves freely, to provide support and mutual aid, and to ensure our survival.

In the spirit of community, we invite spectators and participants of all identities to attend. We encourage attendees who have the means to sponsor a ticket for a member of the QTBIPOC community to contribute using our donation option, or directly buy a ticket for someone they know who would benefit from attending. You can make a suggested donation of $25-$50+ to support the attendance of those who need it most.
