The Fashion Show will be the feature of the Masquerade’s halftime show!
The Fashion Show is open to anyone interested in showing off their amazing costumes. Cosplayers will be lined up on a first-come, first-served basis. All cosplayers are responsible for their own punctuality — no exceptions.
Signups:
Signups occur online. Online registrants must still check in during designated check-in times. Participation is limited to the first 30 confirmed entries. “Confirmed” means the registrant has been contacted by the Cosplay Staff and has replied to that contact and received a reference number.
If you pre-register and are unable to attend, please inform the coordinator as soon as possible.
Check-in:
You must check in during the designated Check-in Times. Failure to check in means forfeiture of your entry. During check-in, Cosplay Staff will:
- Confirm your identity
- Provide important stage information
- Announce any last-minute changes
- Accept at-con signups (if space is available)
- Answer any questions
Check-in is mandatory. Times and locations for check-in are to be determined.
Rules and Guidelines
- All participants must have a Katsucon badge (this includes Associates, Merchants, or other convention badge holders).
- As this is not a judged event, the same costume may be worn from the Hall Cosplay contests and is encouraged.
- All costumes are permitted, including original costumes and fashion designs.
- All clothing and costumes must abide by the rules of the convention.
- If a costume is deemed unacceptable under convention policies, it will not be allowed in the Cosplay Fashion Show.
- Please review the dress code, weapons policy, and other important rules beforehand.
- No electrical power connections will be provided. If your costume requires power, it must be self-contained in the design.
- No explosives, special effects, messy substances, profanity, political or religious statements, or signage are allowed.
- Every component of the contestant’s costume must leave the stage with them after their walk-on or skit is completed.
- Each contestant or group is allowed only one entry.
- This is a non-judged event. The Fashion Show is a showcase to highlight your amazing costume and be seen by the community.
- The Cosplay Fashion Show Department Head has the authority to request costume changes for any reason. Refusal to comply will result in disqualification.
- All decisions made by the Cosplay Fashion Show Department Head are final.
