GRAND PRIZE: $750 OTA PERFORMANCE (NO LEGENDS)
BQVF, Drags, Fem Queen, Old Way, Realness with a Twist. For OTA Performance, contenders must incorporate a prop of their choice to earn their 10s (no scarves or hats). After receiving 10s, the prop must be placed on the designated table. When it’s time to battle, each contender must select a new prop from the table and cannot reuse the same prop twice. After each battle, props will be returned to the table for others to choose from. Participants must represent the name of their first house by displaying it on their shirt. This category pays homage to the innovative spirit of Legendary Jariya, known for mastering performance with a prop. If you need inspiration, revisit the iconic “Press Your Luck Ball” to witness their unmatched creativity and ability to create moments with any prop.
MINI GRAND: $500 OTA RUNWAY
All American, Women’s, Drags, Fem Queen, European, GNC, Legendary/Icons. Pay tribute to the legendary St. Louis diva Jhene Ebony, whose charisma lit up the floor and left an undeniable legacy from the Midwest to Los Angeles. Step into the spotlight with a look that screams wealth: rich girl, rich boy, or rich b*tch, your choice. Think money, think power, think style that slays. Bring the bags (a plus not a must) , serve the cash, and own the runway. Show us your on a shopping spree.
ALL OTHER CATEGORIES IN A TOUCH OF RED
Your touch of red is up to you. It could be a red ribbon for awareness, a red bow in your hair, a red tie, or red painted fingernails. Maybe it’s red eyeshadow, lipstick, a red shoe or shoelaces, red glasses, or a red streak in your hair. A touch of red should accent your effect, not overwhelm it. It must be noticeable to the judges and worn on your body or clothes. A red prop or a prop with red in it does not count. If you have questions, ask JD in his inbox. 💯
