For each category you want to walk, you must submit two entries: indicate which one is for your "tens", and which one is for the final showdown. As entries are received, your FIRST choice will be posted on-line until the close date.
Butch Queens (BQs)- gay males, regardless to which end of the masculine/ feminine scale they choose to identify with (the category specifics determine which way to lean).
Female Figure- regardless to your gender (identity), as long as you are portraying a FEMININE persona.
Femme Queens (FQs)- male-to-female transgendered; from the time you start taking female hormones, you are no longer a BQ.
BQs in Drag- gay males in women's clothes, without taking female hormones.
Women (Females)- biological. This division does not demand a particular sexual orientation, but does lean toward a feminine demeanor.
Butches (Studs)- sometimes referred to as "male illusionists", are generally classified as masculine lesbians, but any female possessing manly appearance and mannerisms can qualify, regardless to sexual preference.
Male Figure- regardless to your gender (identity), as long as you are portraying a MASCULINE persona.
Men (Males)- biological. This division does not demand a particular sexual orientation, but does lean toward a masculine demeanor.
Open To All (OTA)- does not designate gender or persuasion, but you may have to meet other requirements, such as a specific prop or costume.
Judges
All category entries must be received by the due date posted. Judging will take place off-line, and the results will be posted at a date to be announced.
If you are interested in being an on-line judge, send an e-mail to fumamachu@yahoo.com. If you are selected, you will be required to submit a photo. This will be used to create your likeness for the judges' panel (your headshot on an animated body, holding up your scores).
