melbourne rubber competition 2026

Do you have what it takes to become Melbourne Rubber 2026?

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Slick Week, we're looking for the next Melbourne Rubber titleholder to represent and inspire our community. The title is more than a sash. It’s an opportunity to become an active ambassador for Melbourne’s rubber, fetish, leather, kink and LGBTQIA+ communities, helping to celebrate and grow our community throughout your title year.

Open to contestants of all genders, the Melbourne Rubber Competition celebrates the passion, creativity, and diversity of Melbourne's rubber community. Across three judged rounds on competition night, you'll showcase your personality, knowledge, creativity and love of rubber before an esteemed panel of local and international judges. The competition also includes a judges' interview, a community statement and an audience vote, giving you plenty of opportunities to show the community who you are and what you bring to the title.

Whether you're a long-time community member or considering stepping into the spotlight for the first time, we'd love to hear from you.
