How the judging works

Gear overlaps. A leather military look could be Leather or Uniform. A rubber pup could be Rubber or Creature.

You choose how you want your look to be judged. Pick the category that best represents what you are presenting.

Each look can only be entered into one category.

• You must be 18+ to enter, and your look must match the theme of the category you walk. Guests can wear whatever they like; competitors stick to the dress code of their category.
• Your first category is free and includes your entry to GEAR, so you do not buy a guest ticket as well.
• The competition runs from 20:30 to 22:00, with performers between the categories and the final awards at the close. Be there, in your look, before it starts.
• You may enter more than one category, but you need a different look for each entry, and each extra category is R200, paid by EFT. The same look cannot compete twice.
• Gear does not need to be expensive, professionally made or from a recognised brand. Handmade, customised, borrowed, collected and DIY gear are all welcome. Judges are looking at what you do with it, not what you spent on it.
• Judges will not score your body, weight, age, muscle, gender expression or conventional attractiveness. This applies especially to SKIN, where the creative presentation of the body is judged, not the body itself.
• Judges’ decisions on category winners are final.
