Skindustry Productions diligently strives to uphold the integrity of our competitions by choosing industry relevant judges who have extensive knowledge on the division for which they are judging. We have had the privilege and honor of having world famous pole athletes and award winning exotic dancers such as Pantera Blacksmith, Derick Pierson, Shadow Duffy, Aspen Reign, Christina Aguchi and Serenna Starr judge and critique our competitors. We further commit to the transparency of our competitions by reading aloud the scores of each competitor immediately following their performance and posting them where they are visible to everyone in attendance.

Skindustry competitions foster a sense of camaraderie between competitors and cultivate an environment of knowledge sharing, learning and a sense of community. It is common to see the competitors rehearsing and learning new tricks together before the competition begins or standing stage-side cheering on their fellow athletes and artists. We are … You Are … SKINDUSTRY!
