Adult Cosplay Contest (Saturday)

 

*Categories for Adults

 

1. Crafting Cosplay – This is for those that have created more than 75% of their cosplay by their own craftsmanship and handiwork.

2. Non-crafting Cosplay - This is available to anyone who dresses up in cosplay, regardless of how much was commissioned, store bought, or repurposed materials.

 

 

All Crafting Cosplayers will have to preregister at the merchandise booth with our cosplay judges. They will take photos of you, with your permission, to use as a basis for selecting the winners of the contests. It is not required for you to bring any documentation about your cosplay build, but it is also not frowned upon if you wish for them to see how you created it.

 

Non-crafting Cosplayers do not need to register or be prejudged. They just need to be present for the cosplay contest on the main stage.

 

Group Cosplays can enter either category, but will share any prize they win.

 

Presentations and skits are encouraged, but will have a strict 60 second time limit on the stage. You must have the skit registered at the merchandise booth at least 2 hours before the contest. We can provide up to 4 microphones. If you have accompanying sound you want played, please have a flash drive that can be plugged in, and have it to the sound manager at the main stage 2 hours before the contest begins.
