Hold Blameless and Model Releases
Each Contestant agrees to hold blameless International Olympus Leather, Great Plains Olympus Leather, and/or its Producers, staff, weekend volunteer personnel and/or Sponsors for injuries, economic loss, or any liability, and to pay all court costs in any litigation that may arise from any legal action taken by the Contestant against the aforementioned. Contestants and performers participating in the Fantasy must also sign a standard model release and a liability waiver prior to rehearsal. Each contestant is permitted to use an unlimited number of performers for their fantasy. These performers, are responsible for their own weekend packages and must each sign a Consent and Release for use of likeness (defined below).

Regional Eligibility
Contestants residing in an established region must compete in that Regional Olympus Leather Contest.

Individuals residing outside the boundaries of any established region but within 50 miles of an established region’s boundaries must compete in that regional contest. For example: If Mid-Atlantic Olympus Leather is the Regional in Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, a Contestant residing in New York City must compete in The Mid-Atlantic Olympus Leather Contest. However, if said person lived in Rochester, NY they could enter as an independent contestant since there is no region within 50 miles of their residence.

If an interested person lives in an area more that 50 miles away from any established region’s boundaries, that person may enter the International Olympus Leather Contest as an Independent Contestant. The same Contestant Information Sheet, Titleholder Incentives, and Registration Requirements apply.

When an established region lacks a titleholder to compete (for any reason) at International, any titleholder from within the boundaries of said established region (current or past) may run for International Olympus Leather with approval of that Region’s Producer(s) and the International Producer(s).

Title Year Defined
The Title Year is defined as beginning when a Contestant is named the winner of the Olympus Leather Contest until the following year’s Contest when a new winner is announced. If there is not a winner for the title, the producer and current titleholder will discuss the options of a carryover.

Agreement to Compete In All Categories
Each Contestant agrees to participate in all of the categories of the Olympus Leather Contest Finals, including Interview, Speech, Fantasy, Social Interaction and Comical Question as defined in the Guidebook. They also agree to participate in International Olympus Leather Weekend fundraising activities.

Travel Fundraising & Travel Fundraising Participation
Each Contestant agrees to participate in fundraising during Olympus Leather Contest. The proceeds of such activities will benefit The Olympus Leather Travel Fund. Contestants’ participation in fundraising will not be judged in any way, shape or form. The Judges will not be informed how much any contestant raises for any part of the auction or raffle.

Silent Auction
Each Contestant may bring items to add to the Silent Auction. The Auction will begin during the Friday night Meet and Greet and conclude during the Contest on Saturday evening.

Auction and Raffle Items
Items brought to Olympus Leather Contest by the Contestants and/or Sponsors, as well as those collected by Olympus Leather will be placed for live or online auction to raise money for the travel fund. Contestants are not obligated to bring auction items, but it will help them in the end if they win the title.

Disbursement of Funds
The Travel Fund will be split so that Three (3) winners will split equally 90% of the funds raised. (If there is only two (2) winners the travel fund will be split 80/80/20 and if there is one (1) winner the travel fund will be split 60/40). The International producers will distribute the funds to the winners.

Items sold to benefit Contest Production
Revenue from ticket, pins, and other merchandise sales go to producing the Contest, unless an item is specifically placed in an auction or raffle. Each contestant will need to schedule time to volunteer with the Auction Coordinator or producer. Having designated volunteer times will help Contestants to focus on the Contest and to enjoy the weekend. This will also prevent the registration and vendor areas from being flooded with contestants competing for sales at the same time.
