History
[edit]MIR started in 1997 hosted at the Boystown bar, Cell Block, and has been run every year since.[3] In 2009 MIR contest moved to the Center on Halsted to account for larger crowds.[4] In 2020 MIR 24 was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] MIR 27 in 2023 moved to a new location in Skokie, Illinois.[6]
At MIR 27 in 2023, organizers announced that the event would allow contestants of all genders to compete;[6] the contest winner may chose whichever honorific best represents them as MIR titleholder: Mr. International Rubber, Ms. International Rubber, Mx. International Rubber, or MIR International Rubber Ambassador.[7] To promote inclusion, organizers also changed the official name of the contest from "Mr. International Rubber" to gender-neutral "MIR."[7]
The Leather Archives & Museum holds many of MIR's records.[8]
