Oregon State Leather Contest

The Oregon State Leather Contest promotes visibility and support for the Leather, kink, and queer communities through events, education, and advocacy, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for self-expression and community engagement.

Join us for our Victory Brunch, a relaxed close to contest weekend where we gather in community, share stories, and celebrate our new titleholders. Come as you are&mdash;leather, kink, and queer joy are all welcome at the table. Your registration helps sustain OSLC&rsquo;s work creating inclusive, sex‑positive spaces and supporting pleasure‑positive health care for queer and trans folks. Reserve your seat and enjoy food, connection, and a chance to unwind together. This is a NOTAFLOF event, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. &nbsp;Please use our Pay What You Can option and join us for the celebration!
