Cosplay Contest
Get ready to show off your costumes on our Cosplay Stage!
Boone Comic Con is giving our talented attendees a chance to show off their costumes on the stage located in the Marketplace.
Children Under 13 will get to go across the stage, show off their costume, get photographed, and receive a prize.
Teens and Adults Over 13 will get to go across the stage, show off their costume, get photographed, and will be judged based on overall stage presence and costume.
Cosplay based on anime, TV, video games, webcomics, original designs, and more are all welcome!
General Rules for the Competition
Be advised that signing up for any cosplay contest is an affirmation that you agree to adhere to the rules presented on the Boone Comic Con website as well as any decisions made by the cosplay staff prior to, or during Boone Comic Con .
All cosplay events have the potential to be photographed / filmed / recorded in some fashion. The recordings may be used in future galleries or promotions. Signing up for, and /or attending, any cosplay event is done with the understanding that recording could occur at any time, and permission is tacitly given for the participant’s likeness to be used.
All costumes must meet public decency standards with the swimsuit area and bottoms of feet covered.
Participants will refrain from any lewd, political, or hateful speech or actions on stage. Keep it family-friendly!
No projectiles, dangerous props, or messy special effects will be allowed. Waving cloth streamers to represent flames would be fine, spraying silly string for webbing would not! Everything you bring on stage should come off-stage as well.
You are responsible for getting your costume on and off stage. Staff will be on hand for minor assistance but large props are your responsibility. Accommodations can be made to pass in front of the stage if mobility aids or costumes make the stage difficult.
Costumes that have won major awards (Best in Show, First or Second Place) in another contest may participate in the stage crossing but will not be eligible for a prize.
