Northeast MASTER/slave Contest Requirements
Date: Saturday August 9, 2008
Time: 8:00 PM
The purpose of the Northeast MASTER/slave title is to help
raise awareness and appreciation within the leather community
for the Master/slave relationship, and to provide a titleholder
pair who will serve as an educational resource, role models,
and champions for the M/s lifestyle for the leather community.
In addition, the contest serves as a feeder for the International
Master/slave Contest.
This contest is a celebration of the Master/slave dynamic
and is an official feeder to the International Master/slave
Contest. The Northeast Master/slave contest is for couples
who self-identify as Master/slave regardless of gender or
sexual orientation. The titleholders will be expected to use
the title to help educate the general leather community about
the Master/slave lifestyle. It is hoped that the titleholders
will be a valuable resource for the Master/slave community.
