Saturday Night Cosplay

This is by far the most highly anticipated event of the convention.

Please note that our Cosplay contest is moving back to Saturday night.

Rules

1. All CosPlay participants must be members of AnimeFest 2005.
2. No Costume is NO COSTUME. Please remember some of the attending fans are young so if you can’t wear it to Grandma’s you can’t wear it here.
3. No more than 6 people on the stage. You may trade players by having one walk off and another walk on but no more than 6 at any one time.
4. All costumes must pertain to Anime, Manga, J-Pop, J-Rock, or Anime Video Games. Please provide a picture reference of who you are portraying, as this will be helpful during the judging.
5. Please do not throw anything onto the stage or at the audience. We WILL make you clean it up and the Event Coordinator WILL be grumpy about it. It could also get you removed from the convention.
6. No flash pots, explosives, fire, smoke, fog, or mist of any kind.
7. No real weapons of any kind.
8. All music must be cued, clearly marked and turned in with your sign up sheet.
9. Time limits will be as follows: (Time limits will be enforced. A sign will be held up at the 2- minute mark. If you go over your time you will be asked to leave the stage.)
   1. Runway walks have 60 seconds.
   2. Individuals or groups up to 3 members have 3 minutes
   3. Groups of 4 or larger have 5 minutes
10. The CosPlay staff may disqualify anyone for any reason deemed sufficient.
11. There will be a mandatory rehearsal the day of the CosPlay. Bring a script if you are unsure about the rating or your skit.
