Make Something People Will Talk About

Host a party, game, meetup, gathering, or creative experience—and give people another way to find one another at SELF.

Host applications open September 18 and close October 15 at 3 PM. APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED. DO NOT APPLY.

Some of the most memorable parts of SELF are created by people who decide to bring others together. Individuals, clubs, organizations, families, packs, and special-interest groups can propose a party, meetup, game, gathering, creative activity, or social experience.

A host creates something participatory rather than a class: an experience where people can connect, play, make, talk, celebrate, or simply have a good time together.

What Could You Host?

Parties & SocialsCreate a themed gathering, cocktail or mocktail hour, dance, or celebration.
Games & PlayBring people together for games, friendly competition, or playful challenges.
Meetups & CaucusesMake room for connection around shared identities, interests, or communities.
Creative ExperiencesHost crafting, interactive art, themed activities, or something entirely new.

What SELF Hosts Do

  • Bring an engaging idea that gets people together.
  • Create a fun, exciting, welcoming, and participatory experience.
  • Showcase a club, group, family, pack, SIG, or community.
  • Plan the activity, atmosphere, and decorations.
  • Propose snacks, cocktails, or mocktails when appropriate.
  • Offer an imaginative way to celebrate or connect.
  • Consider a fundraiser supporting SELF titleholders, charities, or scholarships.
  • Communicate clearly with SELF while the event is being planned.

Past ideas have included: Canvas & Cocktails, Cards Against Humanity, Singles Mingle, Littles Day Camp, cocktail parties, the Latex Rain Party, caucuses, themed breakfasts, and foot parties. These are examples—not limits.

Depending on the scope, cost, duration, and attendee experience of an approved proposal, hosts may qualify for discounted or complimentary SELF packages. Bring us an idea people will remember.

    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 prioritixing 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, please 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.
