Would you like to compete in the Best Dressed competition?

Or maybe one of the incredible people throughout history who looked up to our skies to map them? Whichever you pick, come prepared t0 walk the runway on the day to win an incredible prize!
Any type of Fetish gear is welcome to compete, as long as it adheres to the theme.Please note that the theme is Astronomy rather than space/sci-fi – xenomorphs, starship troopers, and fictional spaceship crew members won’t be turned away at the door but won’t be getting any prizes for being on-theme.
Sign-up for the Best Dressed competition will be during the event, on the day.
Would you like to nominate someone for The Christian Hoffmann Award?
The Christian Hoffmann Award is a historic title awarded for exemplary service to the leather community. It is named after a former LLM Committee member who worked tirelessly during the AIDS epidemic to help his brothers in leather. Since 2022, we have brought the award back to recognise outstanding contributions to our community.
Nominations are open until the end of September. To nominate someone, please visit the following link:
