Introducing The Categories for Mr. Gay USofA and Mr. Gay USofA at Large:

Personal Interview
Each contestant will be interviewed individually by the judging panel. The purpose of the Personal Interview in the USofA system is to allow the judges some insight into the character of each contestant. During the interview, the judges are also afforded the opportunity to evaluate each contestant's basic qualities, such as intelligence, ability to communicate, attitude, composure, etc. The judges may also gather information about a contestant's professional or personal life.

The basic nature of the interview is intended to be casual and relaxed. The suggested attire for the interview is business casual day wear, You should dress as you would for a professional job interview. However, this is not a fashion category.

Talent
Talent may be any type of entertainment presentation as long as it does not create any danger or injury to either the contestant or anyone else. No animals or reptiles may be used in your talent presentation. You may not use fire, water, or glitter in your talent presentation. Talent presentation is limited to seven (7) minutes in length. Prop setup and tear down time is limited to 5 minutes total. There is no restriction on the number of people who may be involved in the presentation.

Remember that the Mister USofA MI Contest does not provide contestants with backstage staff for prop set-up and tear down, although we will assist with your props as much as possible. The backstage staff will not, under any circumstance, be responsible for any damage to props while helping a contestant. Each contestant must secure his own storage of props at all times.

Club Wear
Club Wear is a new category for USofA Pageants. It is only featured in the Mr. Gay USofA and Mr. Gay USofA at Large contests.  In Club Wear, contestants should dress as they would for an exciting night out on the town. You should wear clothing that you would expect to see in a large club in one of the USofA's major cities.

Your Club Wear choice should match your personality, look, and lifestyle. Clubwear should not be a costume for stage, but rather what you would wear into the club.
