Mr. Hyphen 2009 Contestants!

Presenting the 2009 Mr. Hyphen finalists! Our six outstanding contestants will compete in talent, fashion, and Q&A, with the winner taking home a $1,000 donation for his nonprofit. Plus, we one-up the swimsuit portion with sleepwear. Mr. Hyphen is always a raucous good time, and you, yes you, get to help pick the winner! It's everything a pageant should be. Too bad the ladies don't have anything this good.

Tickets are available online now. To buy, or for more information, visit the Mr. Hyphen page.

Tony D - so many young people have told me that you got them involved in movement building or that you inspired them. Your grassroots work in your community, your creative genius, your love for struggle and the grimyness in the streets, your commitment to systemic and individual level change for those that are left out & unspoken of, your ability to inspire young men to love women deeply and embrace humility..... so many precious things you've offered us! Thank you and best wishes! Love out to all the Mr Hyphens.... One!
