North Bay Pride is promising a big celebration this year.
"We are calling all Drag performers," says Jocelyn Green, CEO of North Bay Pride. "You have a chance to compete for the title of North Bay Pride Drag Persona and win up to $1,000."
The contest will be hosted by local recording artist Mackenzie Drive, and from Canada’s Drag Race! Tynomi Banks.
Drag Race follows 12 Canadian drag artists as they compete for the title of “Canada’s Next Drag Superstar.” Each episode tests their talents and challenges them to master singing, dancing, acting, impersonation, costume making, and improvisation.
“Sharing the hosting duties with the one and only Tynomi Banks is a complete honour," said Mackenzie Drive. "She is an amazing artist with incredible talent. I have no doubt North Bay and Area Drag Family will blow your mind!”

Finalists will perform on stage at the Capitol Centre in front of the judges, Drive and Banks.
“We really wanted to create an opportunity that our community can show their own talent, provide a space for all folks to join us which is why we chose to have a contest," explained Green. "You get exposure on social media regardless because the audience sends people to the final. To have Mackenzie Drive and the one and only Tynomi Banks join us is mind blowing.”
