Olympus Leather Statement of PurposeThe ideal of the Mr. and Ms Olympus Leather Contest is to promote a positive image of the Leather lifestyle. It is our belief that the Leather community is comprised of an extremely diverse group of people ranging from the motorcycle and Leather/Levi clubs to the heaviest SM edge player and all of the Leatherfolk in between. The Mr. and Ms Olympus Leather title seeks to make all Leatherfolk feel good about themselves regardless of race, religion, political beliefs, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, size, handicap, or health condition. It is the goal of Mr. and Ms Olympus Leather to make all those who wish to be a part of the Leather community feel welcome. Want to compete?

The entire Leather community is invited to participate in the first round of the awards process by submitting nominations electronically. Properly submitted nominations will be passed on to a Selection Panel composed of individuals who received awards in 2007. This panel will vote and decide the winners Who Is Eligible: Any member of the Leather community is eligible to win awards with the exception of those listed in the Who Is Not Eligible statement in the next paragraph. The selection panel will determine winners based on community service in the last year. Club officers, organizers, business owners, titleholders, behind-the-scenes workers, philanthropists, writers, columnists, authors, artists, producers, Leather/latex artisans and the like are sought as nominees. We are looking for nominees who have made contributions that have directly affected the Leather community in a positive way. Who Is Not Eligible: Anyone who won an award last year is not eligible to win any award this year. Award winners must wait two years to be eligible to win again in the same category.
