Instead of being judged purely on costuming skill and technique like a traditional competition, we will spice things up by running a diverse competition that judges on a variety of aspects of cosplay.

Judging criteria includes:

• costuming (if you’ve made your costume and how well it it made)
• wig (styling, choice of wig, how it’s made and worn)
• props (if you’ve made your props, what techniques are used, and how well it’s made)
• ‘show’ or skit (whether it’s an in character intro onto the stage, or a full-on skit)
• makeup (if makeup is used, techniques, how well it’s done)
• overall ‘fineness’ (this is a bonus score based on how you embrace your cosplay)

Requirements:

• you have a full cosplay (made, bought, or altered, must include a wig and costume)
• reference pictures
• have a small (or big) show to put on
• -you haven’t won any awards with this costume before.
