With the first ever Miss Gay and Miss Transsexual Australia having been crowned in 2010, the pageant has drawn media attention and been featured in The Age and local papers, and was dubbed a “Pageant with a difference to end all pageants”.

With its mission of raising awareness for better understanding and acceptance of transgender community, the pageant aims to crown not only the most beautiful transsexual and drag queen but someone who can represent and carry the torch of equality and trans advocacy.

This year’s candidates will also talk about their chosen cause or charity, to which part of their winnings will be donated as a starting point.

Doors open 6pm, Pageant from 7pm
