People interested in participating in the CosPlay Competition will need to pick up a entry form at Registration and bring it filled out to the lobby of the auditorium at 11:30 for costume inspection and CosPlay procedures. Any music accompanying your presentation needs to be in CD format and will be turned in during CosPlay inspection. Your CD will be returned to you at the end of the Contest. There will be four classifications of competition: Elementary (Grades Pre-K-5); Intermediate (Grades 6-8); High School (Grades 9-12); Parents/Teachers/Community Members.
Your presentation will be limited to 30 seconds to a minute depending on the number of participants. It will be announced during the procedures meeting the amount of time you will have on stage. All presentations will be solo presentations.
A panel of judges will select a winner and a runner up in each classification based on: - Originality - Effective Use of Materials - Presentation - Dramatic Impact
The Grand Prize will be awarded to a participant from the Elementary through High School Classifications.
All winners will be announced at 2:45 in the Auditorium at the conclusion of the Intro to CosPlay Session. You do not need to be present at the announcement of prizes to win.
(But if you're not there, you’ll miss your chance in the spotlight and bragging rights! )
