The Mr. Iron Bear Contest

After 11 long years, Mr. Iron Bear is BACK — and this time, we’re doing it bigger, bolder, and with heart. This isn’t just a bar title anymore. We’re making history by turning it into a true service title, meaning our winner will spend their title year giving back through community events, fundraisers, and charitable work.

Open to all members of the LGBTQIA+ Bear and Leather communities (and friends!) — we’re not picky. If you’ve got the passion to serve, the drive to lead, and the heart to represent, we want YOU.

Whether you’re competing, cheering on contestants, or just here for the vibes, join us for a weekend of leather, fur, and community pride as we crown the next Mr. Iron Bear.
