Empire Person of Kink Competition

---

For decades, the Stars MC set the standard for leather excellence in the Capital District. Their legendary Mr. Empire State Leather competition was a beacon for our community, producing titleholders who represented Albany with pride on the national stage. We honor the work of the mentors, organizers, and leathermen of Stars MC who built the foundation we stand on today. 

While the scene has been quiet for the last decade, the spirit they fostered never truly left. Empire Person of Kink is proud to carry that torch forward into a new era—honoring our "Old Guard" roots while opening our doors to the beautiful, diverse future of the Albany kink community.

Empire Person of Kink is a premier leadership title produced by Chained by Chuck. This competition identifies a representative for the LGBTQ+ Leather and Kink community who embodies the values of consent, community service, and authentic queer identity. The titleholder serves as a regional ambassador, fostering unity and visibility for the Capital Region throughout their title year.
