About this event
The Competition:
Eight incredible drag artists from across BC will compete in three categories including Runway, a Q&A section, and an original showstopper. The night culminates in a top-two lip-sync showdown, where the winner takes home a crown, cash, aesthetic & mental health care packages, and more courtesy of local sponsors. Plus, the fan-favourite “Khongeniality” award (voted on by the cast) goes to the kindest, kookiest competitor.
Why This Event Matters and Why Khalora Believes in It:
“I want to make this event something that all of BC notices. This has been a dream of mine for years, and I hope to highlight the weird and beautiful in our province.”
