Our annual House Ball is here and the category is... The Motown Era!

Join us for a friendly competition event based on traditional BIPOC Queer Ballroom culture — cash prizes and trophies are up for grabs! Each category will be judged by a panel of House Ball leaders and community members. This year's categories are:

The Temptations (Face): Beauty is only skin deep, can you bring it out and show the judges?
Diana Ross & Micheal Jackson (Runway): Ease on down the runway and show us how you WALK.
The Temptations (Realness): Bring it as you are and show us if you reign supreme. Sub Categories: Butch Queen, Fem Queen, GNC Queen.
Jackson 5 (Tag Team Performance Vogue): Bring it to the runway and don't forget your team! Five elements must be included.
Aretha Franklin (Body): Feel you up, feel you down, come serve your body all around town.
Rick James (Sex Siren): I'm good when I'm bad, I'm bad when i'm good. Show us your sex appeal and make it HOT.
Teena Marie (Best Dressed): Glitz, glamour, sparkle, fur — dig deep into your closets and show us that you're him, them or her.

Not walking the runway but unsure of what to wear? Bring your best 50s-80s Motown inspired outfit! Here are some ideas for all gender expressions:

Flared pants, ruffled buttoned ups, and patterned shirts!
Sparkles, patterned, glamorous dresses or long dresses that shape your body!
Feathers and natural hair (afros and natural hair patterns)!

***No glitter or paint — nothing that will leave a residue on the floor is permitted!

Free to attend, must compete for $$$ prizes!
