Travel Fund: 

The Winner of the Mr. Anvil Phoenix 2025 contest is guaranteed a minimum of $2000 to offset his basic IML contest costs.  Included in these costs (but not limited to) are airfare for the IML contest in May of 2026, hotel and contest entry fees.  These costs will be administered in conjunction with the Arizona Men of Leather.  During his title year, the 2025 Winner will be afforded many opportunities to participate in fundraising events that will be designated as “benefitting the Mr. Anvil Phoenix Travel Fund” and will enjoy the support of the AML club brothers in organizing, advertising and operating these events.  This $2000 guaranteed minimum is already raised and on deposit in the Arizona Men of Leather’s account.

Upon winning his 2025 title, the next $2000 raised is “paid forward” towards Mr. Anvil Phoenix 2026 title contest (to be held in April of 2026).  Any additional money raised during the 2025 Winner’s title year will be awarded to him on top of the guaranteed prize monies and can be used towards supplemental needs including leather attire or additional IML-related events, in coordination with the Arizona Men of Leather contest committee.

Funds raised during AML-sponsored events will be administered by Arizona Men of Leather.
