2026 Las Vegas Leather Showcase Entry

Show. Inspire. Celebrate.

The Leather Showcase is your opportunity to share your best leatherwork with the community and get your work in front of industry professionals, fellow makers, and hundreds of event attendees. Whether you’re a hobbyist, seasoned craftsman, or youth creator, this showcase highlights creative work across Urban, Western, and Youth categories — with select pieces taking home the People's Choice vote and a feature in Illume Magazine.

Every participant also has the option to schedule a feedback session with onsite experts at the Las Vegas Leather Show (limited spots available), making this a great chance to grow, get inspired, and be seen.
