Cosplay judging will take place throughout the day on Saturday, beginning when the convention doors open, until an hour prior to the Masquerade. Participants will sign up for an appointment with the judges, at which time you will have your photo taken and your cosplay assessed by a panel of judges.

•Created from scratch using fabric

•Generic in nature

•Modified from pre-existing materials

Cosplay costumes are not considered to be an “original creation” if more than 25% of the outfit’s articles fit the following criteria:

•Personally commissioned specifically for cosplay purposes,

•Purchased specifically as a cosplay sale or replica item

•Purchased items with no modifications

Wigs are considered an article of your cosplay. A wig which requires modifications in the form of styling, cutting, dying, etc. is considered an “original creation”. Short, unaltered wigs of natural colors are items not specifically designed for cosplay use and fit under the “original creation” rules.
