We look forward to your participation in this year's Debut!

What is the World Leather Debut? The World Leather Debut is a special event for leather workers worldwide. Makers of any skill level are invited to enter their work to compete for cash prizes and awards in one or more of seventeen categories (two of which are designed for youth) and/or to receive written comments regarding their work. The entries are arranged in a gallery setting for the public to tour over a three day span during the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show. A select duo of judges in each category determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd placement and provide written constructive feedback to the maker. The Debut is an enjoyable event that can challenge and even enhance one's perspective, skills and self confidence, whether it be the contestant or the public.
