Mr Gay Ireland is an All Island project to promote the self esteem of young gay men and to support HIV/Aids.

It is run by a group of volunteers from the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival Ltd - a registered not for profit company limited by guarantee trading as Mr Gay Ireland.

The group has entered into licences with Mr Gay Europe and Mr Gay World to include the Irish representatives in these international events.

The competition is open to commercial clubs and venues, community and voluntary associations, employers, student groups, local Prides, and anyone who has an interest in the aims and objectives of thie event.

You can email us and we will put you in touch with your local heat. The Grand Final takes place on the October Bank Holiday Weekend every year.
