The NCLC seeks to find one man or woman of any orientation for their community serviced-based title. Each year, the current NC Leather titleholder is charged with assisting the local and regional community. Beginning in 2008, the titleholder goes on to compete at SELF for one of the regional titles offered. NCLC has been blessed with the support of community organizations and individuals. Over 100 people have attended each of the contests over the last three years.

The North Carolina Leather Contest will be held during Trademark , May 2 - 4, 2025 in Augusta, GA.
