Snag Tights have launched a social media search for their first ‘Snag Queen’, in partnership with British drag superstar Sum Ting Wong. The size-inclusive brand hopes to find an ambassador who embodies their values of inclusivity and body positivity, and as well as a starring role in the brand’s upcoming ‘Snag Queens’ advertising campaign, the winner will also receive a cash prize of £5,000 and a year’s supply of tights.
As a celebration of the art of drag, the competition is open to any glamourous and sassy member of the public, regardless of age, gender, dress size or ability. Entrants can apply on Instagram by submitting an image of them as their best selves, with the hashtag #SnagQueens. Entries are open until Friday 24th, when they will be judged by an expert panel which includes Drag Race UK star Sum Ting Wong and Snag Tights founder Brie Read. The judges will select a shortlist, who will battle on TikTok for a spot in the final. The winner will be selected by the public during a final round hosted by Sum Ting Wong and held on Facebook Live from 17th August.
Sum Ting Wong, Drag Race UK star and Snag Queens guest judge, comments: “What I love about drag is being able to be the pop star you’ve always wanted to be, which is what I’m looking for from our Snag Queens, I want someone to dazzle me. I’m looking for stunning make up skills, sickening outfits, I want to be wowed.”
