OPEN MASQUERADE CONTEST
Open to participants of all ages.  Children ages 12 and under may be accompanied by a guardian during their on-stage walk.

This will be a “relaxed rules” celebration of cosplay. Costumes need not be hand-made by the entrant but should be something a little more than straight out of the package from the Halloween Store.  A costume assembled from a collection of pre-made components you purchased and assembled in your own unique way and/or modified slightly is great; more modifications and some hand-made pieces is even better.

Please stay following your on-stage walk for prizes immediately following.
COSPLAY COMPETITION
All costumes must be at least 50% hand-made or altered.

Open to participants of all ages.  Children ages 12 and under may be accompanied by a guardian during their on-stage walk.

Judging begins immediately following the Masquerade Competition.

If you need any assistance, you may have one person to help you.

PRIZES
