Every cosplayer must abide by a basic list of guidelines:

Outfits should not be so revealing as to warrant indecent exposure charges. All body parts should be covered and not require constant pulling, tugging, straightening, etc. of the outfit to keep them covered. A good rule of thumb is to not wear anything that covers less than what you would wear to the pool or beach.

Tsubasacon is a family event; while we understand that some cosplay characters wear more revealing outfits than others, you may be asked to “cover up” or modify your outfit in some way that is more modest in public areas.

Some of the hallways of the convention center, especially near Artist Alley and during busy periods, are narrow and extremely congested. If your cosplay entails accessories which may hinder hallway traffic, please design your cosplay costumes so that the wings may easily be removed in case you are asked to remove them.

While Tsubasacon may ask participants to modify their costume for various reasons in the public areas of the convention center, we realize that a lot of work has been put into the outfit. During cosplay events, such as the masquerade or cheap cosplay costumes judging, cosplayers are permitted to wear their cosplay in its original, unaltered form.
