2011 Cosplay Contest Rules.

1. The contest will run on Saturday, January 8, 201 from 3-4pm. All participants
must be present at this time.
2. The cosplay contest will last no more than 1 hour.
3. Each contestant will have no more than 1 minute to display, and talk about their
costume with the judges.
4. Costumes must be suitable for a family environment audience. No overly
disturbing or revealing cosplays will be accepted. Anime Festival organizers have
the last say on any cosplay. Any costumes judged offensive by the organizers are
automatically disqualified from the contest and will be asked to change into street
clothes or asked to leave. Refusal to do so will result in a banning from the event.
5. Absolutely no weapons, or items judged to be able to be used as weapons, will be
permitted. This includes wooden swords and staves. This also includes squirt
guns, and any projectile devices. Anime Festival organizers have the last say on
what qualifies as a weapon. Any attendee judged to have a weapon must leave the
event, and will not be allowed in until said weapon is left outside the building.
6. Any cosplay props must be two feet long by two feet wide or less in size.
7. The organizers retain the right to ban on site any cosplay prop deemed by
organizers to be a hazard or nuisance, regardless of its nature or compliance with
above rules. In this event, the prop will be treated as a weapon, and the contestant
will be required to leave the event and not return until the object is left in a
location outside the building. Refusal to do so automatically disqualifies the
contestant and will result in a banning from the event.
8. There will be a category for attendee’s created original characters. Please be
prepared to give background on said character (i.e. Is it from a fan fiction, an
original work, etc).
