Most years the generous bootblacks of SELF have raised funds for the incoming titleholders.  We want to acknowledge this invaluable service.  Thank you for making sure they could travel, educate others, and represent the southeast to the best of their ability. 

SELF has heard you and our bootblacks are integrated into our volunteer system.  We are asking that you:

  • Are willing to mentor and/or participate in the round-tarp bootblack lab for 2 hours; and
  • Work three 2 hour shifts in the stands (you can have more if you like and schedule those hours in various increments offered).2018 titleholders web

Please consider donating a portion your tips to the titleholder travel fund of the incoming titleholders. This has been a long standing tradition at SELF and we thank all bootblacks past and present for their generousity.

SELF will provide bookblacks who meet the above criteria with a discounted package of $70.00.  This is the same compensation which all SELF volunteers receive. Bootblack labor is volunteer labor.

    SELF Promotes Diverse Voices

    SELF recognizes and values the rich diversity within our community.  We proactively cultivate multicultural representation and inclusion throughout all aspects of our event by prioritizing collaboration with community members who are marginalized on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender (identity or expression), sexual orientation, and/or disability.  With our commitment to diversity in mind, are you a member of a marginalized community?

    If so, tell us more.

    At SouthEast LeatherFest, we commit to providing our community with a culturally diverse event and hold ourselves accountable to ensure we meet this goal.  We've provided checkboxes to provide us with a broad view of community representation as well as a fill-in option to learn about your specific identity. To help us evaluate our work, if you chose to, please tell us about yourself. We will use this data to ensure that we are uplifting marginalized voices and we are bringing the culturally diverse event to our community that we promise.  This information is confidential and will never be shared.
