Cosplay Contest
Cosplay Contest Rules
FresCon is hosting its third cosplay contest. We invite cosplayers of varying skill to participate in the contest. The competition will take place Sunday, April 2 at the Satellite Student Union at 4:00pm. We will be open to on-site registration. You will fill out a brief form and be assigned a number. This number will be used during the competition, so please hold onto it.
Judging will be on both costume quality/creativity and performance. The performance section will not be extensive. Show off your costume, be in character, and have fun. We cannot guarantee sound options or microphones, and we will not have access to play video with the performance. We ask you to keep performances “PG” and the use of profanities will lead to disqualification.
Judges will be examining the costumes and asking questions about your process. You do not have to have made every part of the costume yourself, but craftsmanship does help your score.
All cosplay and props must adhere to the Weapons and Cosplay Policy.
Original cosplay is allowed as well as cosplay that deviates from a source (interpretations, gender-swap, etc.).
Please arrive to Pre-Judging at 2:00. Location of Pre-Judging will be announced at the con.
1st Place Adults - $100 Amazon gift card, Voucher for a free class through Bitwise/Geekwise (worth $250), and two paid guest judge spots at two different cons (provided by MCH Cosplay).
2nd Place Adults - $50 Amazon git card.
3rd Place Adults - $25 Amazon gift card.
2 Kids Prizes - Large goody bags
More awards may be added. This will be up to the Cosplay Coordinator and Cosplay Judges.
Thank you and have fun!
