- Check-In
- Cosplay Contest check-in will be open from 12:00pm (noon) – 6:00pm on Friday of Anime Detour.
- We will be located on the main floor next to the entrance for the Main stage (Alcove D). Look for our sign and table
- Please turn in properly completed and signed release forms and other materials including the tech form during that time.
- 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.
- Orientation
- All entries, including “wait list” entries, are required to attend the Cosplay Contest Orientation Session at 9:00am Saturday morning in Main Programming.
- 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, give out times for Rehearsal and Workmanship Judging, and answer any final questions.
- Rehearsal times will be posted in the green room.
- We will also handle potential questions or problems we may find with an entry and collect any missing information.
- Finally, we will let any “wait list” entries know if they will make it into the competition (for example, if another entry isn’t at Orientation).
- Rehearsal
- Please be on time for your rehearsal slot.
- 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.
- 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!
- Workmanship Judging
- You will be given a time at Orientation to be judged on costume construction.
- Workmanship judging will be happening the same time as rehearsals.
- Judging will happen in Lakeshore C, which is next door to the Greenroom.
