Pinup Contest sponsors

 Ink the Bay’s Alternative Pinup focuses on beauty, culture, style and fashion related to the Pinup and Alternative communities, meaning we are an all-inclusive contest that respects, encourages, and welcomes women of all shapes and sizes, to join us and have a great time!  

 This season we will have (3) competition categories to choose from; • Classic • Alternative • Curvy  This is a great opportunity for women who have just begun to show interest in the Pinup community, amateurs, and even for professionals to all be on one platform; network, learn, and/or grow with each other, where women supporting women is key! 

 We love everything from Traditional, Alternative, Rockabilly, and Gothic Pinup. Though it is not a requirement, we also adore inked models and body modification.
