But the main event will be a **Lady Liberty costume contest.** A spot in the contest is included with event admission, and contestants of all shapes, sizes, and gender identities are invited to compete. **The City Reliquary does not have a dressing room. Contestants, please arrive in costume!** Contestants will be evaluated by a panel of three judges: transportation icon **Bernie Wagenblast**, who is quite literally the voice of the New York City subway system (“*Please stand away from the platform edge!”*) and spokesperson for the transgender community; our reigning 2024 Miss Subways, burlesque performer **Queerly Femmetastic**; and 2024 Miss Subways first runner-up, comedian **Dani Riedel**.
