    1. Check-In
      • Cosplay Contest check-in for those who are in the Masquerade will be open on Friday of Anime Detour. Please check the Programming Guide for the time and location for checking in.
      • If you are unable to Check-In during this time, please contact Cosplay staff before the convention to make other arrangements.
      • All entries must complete registration on Friday & attend Orientation on Saturday morning of the convention.
    2. Orientation
      • All entries are required to attend the Cosplay Contest Orientation Saturday morning. This information will be given to you at check in.
      • If you do not attend, or show up after we take roll call, you will not be allowed to participate in the contest itself.
      • During Orientation we will go over General Rules and Guidelines, answer any final questions you may have.
      • We will also handle potential questions or problems we may find with an entry and collect any missing information.
    3. Rehearsal
      • Please be on time for your rehearsal slot as excessive tardiness will end in disqualification. If you are going to be late, please let the Cosplay Department know via email, Discord, or sending a representative to the Green Room or rehearsal space during rehearsals.
      • Rehearsal will be your time to practice getting on and off main stage, setting your marks with the tech crew and hearing the emcee announce your entry. You will have about 3 minutes to rehearse your entry, so please use your time on stage wisely.
      • If you have large or bulky props or costumes, this is the time to rehearse moving them on stage and around the backstage areas.
      • You don’t need to be in your entire costume, but if there are parts that might be a concern (anything tall or wide, or lighting issues for example), now is the time to find that out!
      • Any stunts (flips, jumps, etc.) will need to be done on stage during this time as well to ensure safety. If it is not done on stage and is done during the competition, this is grounds for immediate disqualification.
    4. Workmanship Judging
      • Judging will happen in Lakeshore C, which is next door to the Greenroom
      • Please be on time for your workmanship judging slot slot as excessive tardiness will end in disqualification. If you are going to be late, please let the Cosplay Department know via email, Discord, or sending a representative to the Judging room.
