Costume Contest Rules a) All entries must be registered for the convention, and have their badges clearly displayed during contest sign-in and judging. b) This is a family friendly convention. Please, no nudity, or potential “wardrobe malfunctions”. If your costume in determined to be too skimpy, or inappropriate for children, you will be asked to cover the offending portion before participating in the contest. Failure to do so will result in disqualification and possible ejection from the convention. c) Costumes purchased as-is (store bought) or created by someone who is not a member of your group are ineligible for the costume contest. If it is determined during judging that your costume was not made in any part by you or a member of your group, your entry will be disqualified. (Our judges will recognize a purchased costume. So please, don’t risk it.) d) Youth costumes (13 years and under) made by a parent are eligible, as long as the parent is present at the time of judging. e) Found item (piece meal) costumes are eligible, as long as they have been significantly modified* from their original form. *An example of significantly modified: Purchasing a white dress shirt, dyeing it blue, then embellishing it with insignia. An example of not significantly modified: Purchasing a white dress shirt, then squirting fake blood on it. ~ In the event of a dispute, the Costume Contest Director’s decision is final. ~ *★,°*:.☆\(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★* ★,°*:.☆\(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★* Craftsmanship Judging and Awards: Judging will be done using four factors: Use of Materials, Accuracy to Reference (for replica costumes), Attention to Detail, and Completeness. If your costume is an original design, you may still enter the contest, but you will only be eligible for the “Outstanding Original Design Award” or “Judge’s Award”. Awards Include: Best CraftsmanshipBest PresentationBest Youth Costume (Age 13 and Under)Outstanding Original DesignJudge’s Awards NOTE: Costumes that have already won an award at in a previous contest are not eligible for Craftsmanship Judging. (Give the other guys a chance, ok?) Our judges have been hand-picked based on their sewing and crafting expertise, and experience in the costuming field. However, they can’t be expected to be familiar with every character and show out there. So please, help them out by bringing reference materials for your costume. A color printout is best, but black and white will do in a pinch. Don’t bring something you can’t afford to lose. Bak-Anime and our judges are not responsible for keeping track of your possessions, and cannot be held responsible for lost items such as artbooks and action figures. For example: here is a piece Ive been working on. Its Vincent Valentines Claw/Gauntlet. I made everything myself ^^ but this is an example of craftsmanship and creativity!! ^^ theres other AWESOME cosplayers who Ive seen done an amazing job and we can totally distinguish those who have put in a lot of hard work into their cosplays!! You guys have anything you would like to share?? Go ahead and post!! ^^
