Main Cosplay Contest Rules

MAiN COSPLAY CONTEST

To facilitate faster contest registration processing, please download and complete this form prior to Tokyo in Tulsa.

1. Eligibility: Anyone ages six (6) and up may enter in the [MAIN COSPLAY] event. Entrants ages six to thirteen (6-13) must have their parents’ permission to enroll, and they MUST be accompanied by a legal guardian or relative of age. Children below the age of six (6) CANNOT enter cosplay on their own, but they can be considered a “prop” in a performance.

2. Costume Guidelines:

• No costume is NO COSTUME. If the outfit can be mistaken for every day wear (L from Death Note, Brock from Pokemon, etc.), it cannot be entered into the contest alone. However, it can be entered with a group.

• Costumes must cover at least as much area as a bikini–NO EXCEPTIONS. This is a family friendly event. Thongs are not allowed unless covered by skirts/shorts or capes.

• If you did not make your costume, DO NOT enter it in the contest. For example, do not enter a store-bought costume; we WILL notice.

3. Reference material is required in order to judge fairly. Please bring a clear photo of your character for the judges to compare to your cosplay.

4. THERE WILL BE SKITS! HOORAY!

• Group Limits – Groups with skits may only have six (6) people on stage at one time as a safety precaution. More people may be entered as part of the group skit, but only six (6) are allowed on stage at one time. Group walk-ons, where the group simply poses for a picture, may have the entire group on stage, if it is within reasonable size.
