This is a community event open to all genders — bring your besties, your gal pals, your mum and dad.

This is the night it all goes down. Join us for the main event of Western Roundup, the Mr Bear Perth 2026 Competition. Our incredible contestants take to the stage for three fierce and fabulous rounds, all vying for the title and sash of Mr Bear Perth.

Expect a show packed with personality, community and heart. There will be laughs, maybe even a few tears, and above all a whole lot of fun. Mr Bear Perth isn't just a title — it's a celebration of visibility, leadership, and the values that make our bear scene thrive.

Dress to impress, or come as you are. Leather, pup gear, casual wear, or whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable is welcome. We warmly welcome our brethren from other bear clubs, pups, leatherfolk, and all members of our vibrant and diverse community.

All contestants identify as male or male-presenting, but the event warmly welcomes support from all genders and corners of our community.
