What is the Leather Showcase?

  • How the Showcase Works

    The Leather Showcase is a curated display of original leather projects submitted by makers of all experience levels. All entries are shown at the Las Vegas Leather Show, where attendees can view the work, cast their vote for People’s Choice, and celebrate the creativity of the community. Select pieces also earn a feature in Illume Magazine.

  • What You Can Enter

    You may submit up to three original pieces crafted primarily from leather in any of the Showcase categories. From tooling and carving to construction, stitching, or creative experimental work, this showcase is open to every kind of leathercraft.
