Do you have what it takes to be Mr Brighton Bear 2020? Perhaps you fancy winning £100 (1st prize) or £50 (2nd prize)? Or maybe you want to some fun during lockdown…
Whatever your motivation, the boys from Brighton Bear Weekend (BBW) would love to see you in the line up of contestants for the 2020 Mr Brighton Bear Competition, in support of the Brighton Rainbow Fund which gives grants to local LGBTQ+/HIV groups who deliver effective frontline services to people in the city. For the first (and hopefully only) time, this year’s competition will be mostly ‘virtual’ in nature; hence, for the most part, you won’t even need to leave your own home!
This is how it will work:
First, you’ll need to register by completing the form that can found here. It’s free to enter, so don’t delay, get it done now!
Once registered, you will be sent more details but, to give you the general idea, you will be asked to send three pictures of yourself in (1) Beachwear, (2) Night out on the town and (3) Wear what you dare! You will also be asked to send a video (between one and two mins long) of you performing whatever talent you wish to share – singing, dancing, playing a sport, being artistic, whatever!
There’ll be a public vote to whittle contestants down contestants to a shortlist of five people. This year BBW are offering the winner £100 cash prize and a portrait by Fraser Dickson of LittleBigMen Drawings. There will also be one runner up prize of £50 cash. Everyone on the shortlist will get a 2020 Mr Brighton Bear T-shirt.
Deadline for entries is the 30th April.
Taylor Leigh, winner of Mr Brighton Bear 2019, said: “Enter Mr Brighton Bear for a furtastic time. It’s a great group of accepting guys and a fun atmosphere. I was nervous and never expected to win. It was a total shock, but I was so please I did. So do enter, you have nothing to lose.”
Graham Munday, BBW Chair, added, “Last year we bent to public demand and had our very first Mr Brighton Bear competition. Taylor was a very deserved winner and has supported us throughout the year. This year it is going to be different, but we still believe in having fun, even more so now. As always Brighton Bear Weekend and Mister Brighton Bear are very proud in supporting the Brighton Rainbow Fund.”
