LOS ANGELES—DomCon LA 2020 will, for the first time, host the "Animal International" contest, a title for pet and animal players who aren't satisfied with simply transforming themselves into glorious, fantastical creatures, but who also wish to transform the world around them. The contest and judging for the title will be held Saturday, May 9, during DomCon LA 2020, the west coast's premiere professional and lifestyle BDSM convention, to be held at the Hilton LAX hotel, 5711 West Century Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90045.
While this event is for adults only, any adult who identifies or role-plays as any animal, either pet or primal, is welcome to compete. Furthermore, contestants do not need handlers. This is a totally inclusive event and competition meant to strengthen and benefit the environment, world and community.
“We were thinking about making this a traditional leather title, but we’ve learned there are a lot of people in the community that are into animal role-play, but are not leather,” said DomCon founder and President Mistress Cyan. “We do not want to exclude someone because of their lifestyle, sexual orientation, gender identity, or even how they identify in our kink world. We decided to make this a fetish event that’s open to leather- and non-leather-identifying people.”
“I’m always looking for ways to broaden the horizon of animal play, be more inclusive and really inspire people,” said Madame Margherite, producer of Animal International 2020. “One thing about DomCon is, we have always aimed to empower our communities, and this is one more way we will be able to do that.”
There will be three judges deciding who will win. The winner of Animal International will take away a custom sash and will be expected to teach a class or workshop at a future DomCon, do something tangible to improve the environment, and judge next year’s Animal International title.
