I've seen the photos of this and it looks amazing.
7/29/24, 6:31pm: [admin] Subject line and gender settings changed to match the actual event which is open to all genders, as per the front page of their website: "An Inclusive Rubber Contest. At MIR27 it was announced that beginning in 2024, the MIR contest would become inclusive of all gender identities. Additionally, the name of the weekend was changed from Mr. International Rubber to simply MIR."
Can confirm MIR is a fucking blast!This will be my fourth year going. Be sure to go to the contest, I promise it is worth it. Maybe a WAMmer meetup is in order?
Also thanks for editing your post about the title change! I'm not competing but it's really cool that they are opening up to contest to everyone.
