Thank you for your interest in representing Famously Hot South Carolina Pride as one of our esteemed pageant titleholders for 2025! We are ready for fierce competition and hope to find dedicated titleholders who will commit to representing SC Pride, expanding the mission of the organization, fundraising at our annual events, and serving as team players to make Famously Hot SC Pride famously fabulous!
RESPONSIBILITIES OF OUR ROYAL COURT:
The 2025 Royal Court will be tasked with organizing fundraising events during their reign to offset the booking fees for entertainers that appear on our annual pride stages! Each winner will be responsible for hosting at least three (3) fundraisers for Famously Hot SC Pride during their year of service with at least two (2) taking place prior to the 2025 Famously Hot South Carolina Pride Festival on October 3 – 4, 2025. It is your responsibility to produce quality fundraisers that enhance the image of Famously Hot South Carolina Pride and raise funds to ensure that our state’s finest performers are featured on stage during our annual festival. The title and position of Ms., Mr., and Mx. Outfest is ultimately a fundraising title but also should be an opportunity to promote yourself and reach new populations with your talent!
In addition to your fundraising efforts, you are expected to appear and act as a liaison on behalf of Famously Hot South Carolina Pride at various events throughout the year. You must be willing to showcase your talents at those events. The winners of Ms., Mr., and Mx. Outfest are also required to perform at our annual gala, Revelry, which will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2025. The royal court will be featured in events during Pride week (September 28 – October 5, 2025) with featured and required performances on the Main Stage and at Pride’s after party on October 4, 2025. Additionally, you will perform twice, (and possibly 3 times, if asked), at the 2026 Outfest Pageant, date to be determined.
WHY NOW?
This is an opportunity for us as an organization to have incredible representation of the art of drag throughout the year. Serving as Ms., Mr., or Mx. Outfest is a chance for you to represent this amazing organization over the next year while utilizing the title to broaden the reach of your brand. We hope you will commit to being part of our magic and step up to make this the best year yet!
