Create Contestant

Residency: The Israel Mr. Leather title is limited to citizens and legal residents of Israel, Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Egypt, and Emirati states. Contestants must prove citizenship or residency with state-issued identification. Contest sponsors will change the title to Mr. Mid-East Leather if the winner is not from Israel, but titleholders agree that they represent Israel together with Mid-East leather and fetish communities.

IML or MFE Eligibility: You must be eligible to enter the International Mr. Leather (IML) Contest or Mr. Fetish Europe (MFE). This includes but is not limited to, being at least 21 years of age by the time you submit an IML contestant application.

Travel: You must have a valid passport and visa if required for travel to the 2024 contest in the United States or Europe. Given common delays in obtaining government-issued travel documents, the producers may revoke a title if the winner fails to act promptly to secure travel documents.

Application: Complete the entire contestant application in English. If you have more information to present, bring copies for five judges.

Auction Basket: Provide a "gift basket" with items you have obtained or provided for a silent auction at the contest. The basket can consist of any item you think will help raise money. This money will go directly to the winner's travel fund. It can contain as many or as few items as you would like; but remember that the more money it makes the easier it will be for you to travel to additional events including IML and/or Mr. Fetish Europe.

Interview: Attend the interview with the Contest Judges where they will ask you questions about your application, platform, and anything else that helps them to know you. Be prepared and honest; consider it a job interview.

"Pecs and Personality": Appear on stage in minimal clothing (jock, harness, shorts, shirtless, etc.). Answer a short question from the judges for the audience.

Full Leather and Speech: Appear on stage in full leather (shirt, pants, etc.), and give a speech for up to 90 seconds on a topic of your choice.

Final Appearance: Appear on stage in the leather in which you would like to receive your title.

There will also be touring and social events before and after the contest. You are welcome but not required to participate. You pay your own expenses (food, drink, entrance fees, etc.) at these events unless they have been explicitly donated to the event or purchased for you. The producers will not assume or reimburse for your expenses at these events.

Charity: Raise funds for charity within Israel prior to leaving for IML, accounting for all funds raised and disbursed with receipts and statements. Expense reimbursements may not exceed 25% of the funds raised.

Travel Fund: Raise funds for the Israel Mr. Leather Travel Fund, accounting for all funds raised and disbursed with receipts and statements. Expense reimbursements may not exceed 25% of the funds raised.

Community Support: Support the general leather/fetish community by hosting events that support your platform; support the Israel Leather Fetish club by participating in planning, event hosting, and recruiting contestants for the following year.

Promote Israel Mr. Leather: Promote and exclusively represent the Israel Mr. Leather Contest, 32 Degrees North, and other sponsors at Pride and leather/fetish events in Israel and around the world. The titleholder may not compete for any other title until after competing for International Mr. Leather (IML) or Mr. Fetish Europe. For the rest of the title year, the titleholder must obtain permission of the Producers, 32 Degrees North, to compete for another title.

IML: Compete for either the IML title (Chicago, May 2024) or Mr. Fetish Europe (2024) following the contest rules and regulations. If funds have been raised for the Israel Mr. Leather Travel Fund, the producers will provide them for the contestant's basic travel to the contest. The titleholder is responsible for his own share of hotel costs. If the titleholder cannot speak and understand English to an American standard as judged by the Producers; he agrees to find and fund a translator if needed for the contest.

Revocable Title: The producers may revoke the title and its prizes if the titleholder fails to meet the responsibilities of the title or demonstrate progress toward meeting its objectives.
