Subsidised Applications & Grants

PDSM understands that competing in pole competitions can be incredibly expensive. So, we are delighted to offer at least 4 FREE competitor entries to low-income sex workers. 

Should any subsidised applicants be successful in moving on to the live final, at least one competitor will receive a minimum of a £50 grant to help towards any competition expenses. 

All applicants’ identity will be strictly confidential throughout the process. Only the PDSM organiser will know who applicants and beneficiaries are. Applicants are welcome to reveal they have benefited from the scheme after the live final under their terms if they so wish. We have these measures in place to ensure the following: 

● Competitors can choose to remain anonymous. 

● Prevent any implicit bias with judging. 

The option to apply for free entry and a grant will be on the application form. You will have the chance to support your application by expressing why you are applying for a subsidised entry fee/a grant and how this would benefit you. 

The deadline to apply for this scheme is 29th May 2024.

Funding for this scheme will be coming from sponsors.
