Get ready, Katarokwi/Kingston! MGK returns on September 19, 2026.
A new era of the crown is here. An era that is joyfully camp, community-driven, and rooted in celebrating drag as both art and leadership.
Whether you’ve been on stage for years or you’ve been dreaming about your first big moment… this is your sign.
What MGK is all about
MGK is more than a pageant, it’s:
- A platform for community leadership and advocacy
- A celebration of diverse drag artistry
- A space that values mentorship, growth, and connection over competition
There is no one way to do drag here. Contestants are encouraged to show up as their authentic selves and share what makes their artistry unique.
What you’ll be bringing to the stage
MGK highlights a range of skills that reflect both artistry and presence, including:
- Fashion / Presentation – define your aesthetic and show us your perspective
- Introduction – tell your story and why you do drag
- Talent – perform your art your way (lip sync, live vocals, comedy, dance, and more)
- Q&A / Interview – speak to community, leadership, and your voice as an artist
It’s about creative expression, connection, and impact — not just perfection.
Who can compete?
MGK is proudly inclusive and not gender-restrictive.
The stage is open to drag artists:
- of all gender identities and styles
- at any experience level
- with a connection to the Katarokwi/Kingston drag community
If you care about community, creativity, and showing up with heart — you belong here.
Not quite time… but soon
Applications are not open yet — but they’re coming soon.
Now’s your moment to:
- Start building your looks
- Refine your performance
- Think about your story, your voice, and the impact you want to make
Stay tuned! Full details and application info are on the way.
