Prepare for a battle of the bold, the bizarre, and the beautifully grotesque at MX Daemōn 2025—Michigan’s first National Monster Xtreme preliminary. Inspired by the boundary-breaking horror and artistry of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, this competition pushes alt, horror, and monster drag to its absolute limits.
Ready to Illumenate the Stage?
Prepare for the Ritual. Enter the Lumen. Let light and brilliance consume you.
MX Daemōn is more the pathway to the national stage. The crowned MX Daemōn Winner and 1st Alternate will earn their place to compete at the National Monster Xtreme Pageant in Wichita, KS, in November 2025, where they will vie for the prestigious National Title. This opportunity isn’t just about a crown; it’s about legacy, visibility, and carrying the spirit of innovation and inclusivity to a national platform.
Winning the MX Daemōn title is more than claiming a crown and your place in Nationals—it’s an invitation to create meaningful change. Our Special Project Initiative empowers the crowned MX Daemōn to lead a community-focused project addressing a critical issue impacting the LGBTQIA+ and broader communities.
MX Daemōn is the Preliminary to National Monster Xtreme Pageant
In our very first year participating in National Monster Xtreme (NMX), we made history and proudly put Michigan on the map.
Our extraordinary representative, Nomi D’shire, brought home the 1st Alternate title, showcasing unparalleled talent and passion. Alongside them, Auroara Manifesto earned an impressive placing with the most monstrous High Fashion Runway of them all, and Stela Vulva delivered a mesmerizing performance that left an indelible mark on the judges and audience alike.
These achievements stand as a testament to the artistry, dedication, and resilience of our performers.
This isn’t just a competition—it’s a Movement. it’s a Ritual. it’s a Revolution.
Are you ready to claim your place among the legends?
