Categories:
Walk a Mile in My Louis Vuittons - OTA Runway: Strut in an all-red look that celebrates the beauty of HIV advocacy. Your fit should reflect a journey—from stigma to strength.
Kiss My Kicks, Clock My Mug - OTA Face: Face card stays valid—and your sneakers must match the message. Think ribbon laces, glittered slogans, or glow-in-the-dark condoms for a full glam-to-ground prevention serve.
Activated by Access in "The Statement Look” - GNC Best Dressed: Show us what thriving looks like in a fit rooted in care and access. Wear PrEP blue, pill-bottle orange, or pharmacy yellow. Come laced with intention.
Full Court Press - OTA Performance: In sportswear-inspired fashion with a visible message about sexual health. This is ballroom meets game day—score on stigma, don’t fumble prevention.
Handle with Consent - OTA Hand Performance: Serve precision and story through your hands—but your tens require more than technique. Gloves must feature a consent-affirming message, painted, printed, or sewn with purpose.
Sophistication @ Every Step - Trans Man – Executive Realness: You’re the president of the board, serve corporate realness with a sneaker twist and answer aloud: What does trans-masculine sexual health mean to you?
Hey Sole-SISTERS - Tag Team Realness: Two femmes. Two twin looks. One unshakable bond. Walk the runway repping peer support through HIV care—sisterhood, solidarity, and stomping out stigma.
Boots on the Ground - Butch Queen Realness: You’re not just marching—you’re moving mountains. Come as the peer navigator, the street outreach icon, or the grassroots king—boots mandatory because real change takes real steps.
Reeboks with the Straps: Bizarre: Construct your look using real sneaker parts—straps, tongues, soles, or logos—and let your outfit deliver the message. This is where prevention meets performance art: wearable sculpture meets public health PSA.
GRAND PRIZE: We’re Live: Dunks, Pumps, & Public Health!
Your house is the campaign crew—featuring a Trans Woman, Trans Man, and Trans Nonbinary/GNC team member as Anchor, Camera Op, and Director of Photography. The Anchor must deliver one STI prevention method and a fact about its effectiveness—on-air and in character. Dressed for the camera with sneakers or heels that speak just as loud as your stats.
