This is new event for AnimeFest 2008.

(Masquerade forms are currently under review for 2008 and will be posted soon.)

Rules

1. All CosPlay participants must be members of AnimeFest 2008.
2. No Costume is NO COSTUME. Please remember some of the attending fans are young so if you can't wear it to Grandma's you can't wear it here.
3. All costumes must pertain to Anime, Manga, J-Pop, J-Rock, or Anime Video Games.
4. Please do not throw anything onto the stage or at the audience. We WILL make you clean it up and the Event Director WILL be grumpy about it. It could also get you removed from the convention.
5. No real weapons of any kind.
6. Music will be provided by the convention.
7. Each participant will have approximately 60 seconds on the stage.
8. You may have a group masquerade of up to 5 members; however, group masquerades have the same time as single participants.
9. You may do poses and actions but NO skits - skits are for the Sunday night CosPlay.
10. The Masquerade staff may disqualify anyone for any reason deemed sufficient.
11. There will be a mandatory rehearsal the day of the CosPlay. Bring a script if you are unsure about the rating or your skit.
12. Consider bringing a picture of the character you are portraying to help the judges. They have seen a lot of anime, but no one has seen it all.
13. Pre-Judging will be done prior to the contest. BE ON TIME so the judges can look at your costume in detail.

Please remember to use common sense. We want everyone to have a good time so please respect the rules and other players.

All sign up sheets must be completed and turned into the Information Desk by Saturday August 30 at 3PM.
