Final Details

On the online form below, there is a section asking for a 100-word written description of your costume. This is mandatory as it will be what the emcee will read during your introduction and onstage appearance. This can be a description, a story of inspiration, or whatever else pertains to the costume. If you do not supply this right now, we will request it prior to the event.

Okay, so how much does this Cosplay Contest Cost?

Nothing. Yep, we want you all to have a good time and show off your great costumes and all the work you put into them.
