A BRIEF HISTORY

In 1989, The Mystic Krewe of the Lords of Leather sponsored a contest for Mr. New Orleans Leather. In 1993 the contest grew to encompass the geographic area of the state by evolving into the Mr. Louisiana Leather Contest. The title is nationally recognized and acknowledged by the leather community worldwide. The winner becomes eligible to compete in International Mr. Leather (IML) held annually in Chicago.

CONTESTANT MEET AND GREET

Applications for contestants are accepted up until the start of this function. It is 100% your responsibility that your application has been received by the krewe if mailed or delivered. Contact the contestant coordinator to verify. If you're bringing it to the event be sure to have your application completed and sponsorship monies in hand. The Meet and Greet is your opportunity to meet the other contestants but more importantly to meet each of the judges individually. Make a point to locate the judges and personally introduce yourself to them. If you don't know who the judges are, ask a krewe member. They want to meet you as much as you NEED to meet them. There's no points given for this function but first impressions mean alot!

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS

Interviews will last approximately 15 minutes per contestant. Each judge will ask questions to understand more about you and your desire to become Mr. Louisiana Leather 2009. You may dress as you wish for the interview. Water and soft drinks will be provided. Lunch will also be served at the end of the contestant’s interviews.
