Drag isn’t just about pageants and polish, it’s about performance, practice and community, and there’s a new competition in town to foster growth and mentoring in our busy drag scene. Your fabulous host Kitty Obsidian (VIC NAIDOC Pride Person of the Year 2022) will walk you through three heats, a semi final and a grand final. Each heat sees four incredible emerging drag artists, paired with established drag mentors, competing for one Judges Choice award and a spot in the semi finale. After Heat One on August 13, audiences and fans alike will be able to vote on Instagram for their favourite of the 13 artists competing, securing the highest-voted artist the lucrative Audience Vote wildcard spot in the semi finale.
