the project
In early 2017, we'll host our first annual Mr. & Miss Hotter Than July Pageant! Contestants will be scored by a panel of 7 judges on their presentations, talent and evening wear and their scores will be tallied to award and crown Mr. & Miss Hotter Than July!
The MR & MISS Hotter Than July Pageant will identify the faces and Brand Ambassadors for the 22nd Annual HOTTER THAN JULY Celebration. And our first annual winners will help to engage others in the months leading up to our annual celebration in July.
For 22 years Hotter Than July-Palmer Park Picnic has been a beacon for bringing diverse communities together. We have done this through education, music, love and the freedom to express. MR & MISS Hotter Than July will embody this history, the present and the future as ambassadors.
Mr. & Miss Hotter Than July will:
- Be the face of Hotter Than July media
- Receive a in-depth orientation about the 22 year history of Hotter Than July
- Have a showcase at the 22nd Annual Hotter Than July Picnic
Over the years, the entertainers at Hotter than July have become key in social justice movements and have even been featured on the cover of statewide publications.
the steps
Planning for Hotter than July 2017 has begun! We have secured the venue for the pageant and started the planning process of collecting quotes and prices.
Once funds are received we will hire a local DJ and host, purchase contestant prizes and acquire decorations for the event.
The event will be promoted through the Hotter Than July Planning Committee.
why we're doing it
Entertainers have ALWAYS been at the center of Black LGBT history but are often overlooked and underappreciated. When the LGBT community had no spaces to go but clubs entertainment became the epicenter of the culture. The founders of Hotter Than July formed a unique week long of events, Palmer Park Picnic became the flagship program for this week where entertainers have always been welcomed and celebrated.
This is how we honor and showcase the talent and brilliance of the entertainers in Detroit's LGBT community.
