CONTEST RULES
We will make every effort to include everyone who wishes to participate in the cosplay contests; however participation may be capped by Library Staff in order to keep contests on schedule.
AMA-CON hosts one Kids contest for all contestants 12 years and younger regardless of fandom.
Four cosplay contests are held for contestants ages 13 and older in the following categories: Sci-Fi/Steampunk/Original Concepts, Comics, Gaming, and Anime.
You may compete in more than one contest, but you must manage your schedule to ensure you are able to attend prejudging and arrive at the contest on time. You may not enter the same costume in more than one category.
Certificates are awarded for First, Second, Third, and People’s Choice in each category.
Each contestant will participate in prejudging to allow the judges 3 minutes to ask questions about craftsmanship, materials, and techniques used in construction, time spent on the costume, and why you chose the character.
Each contestant will have 30 seconds to cross the stage to display their costume and stage presence for final judging. You may perform a short routine provided you do not perform any unsafe movements, engage the judges or audience in conversation, or disrupt the timely completion of the contest.
