Registration opens March 1st.

MX Daemōn is not a traditional drag pageant. It is a rite.

SANGRE means blood. Not spectacle. Not shock.
Blood as lineage. Blood as survival. Blood as legacy.

MX Daemōn was created for performers who never fit neatly into the cookie-cutter mold of conventional drag competitions. It is a space for monsters, hybrids, and otherworldly beings to take the stage fully formed, fully intentional, and unapologetically themselves.

This year’s theme, SANGRE, asks a deeper question:

What runs through you? What taught you to survive? What do you carry forward when the world demands silence?

Featuring the reigning MX Daemōn, Jupiter Voyer, this year’s pageant centers endurance, evolution, and becoming. Contestants will be judged not only on performance and presentation, but on narrative, craftsmanship, and the truth they bring to the stage.

Expect:

• High-concept monster drag
• Elevated costuming and transformation
• Performance rooted in identity and story
• A judging panel that values intention over imitation
• A space where art and resistance coexist

This is not about fitting in. This is about standing visible.

MX Daemōn 2026: SANGRE is a celebration of legacy written under pressure and the monsters who continue to rise.
