Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you discern what sort of suitable cosplay will or will not be allowed for free entry?
A: A veteran cosplayer will be around to help in that aspect. A certain amount of effort is needed to be worked upon for your costume, even though the cosplay could be perfect. For uncompleted costumes, the criteria will be based on the following:
- On a case-by-case basis under the moderator’s jurisdiction; you must complete at least 3 out of 4 of the following criteria:
1) Costume
2) Wig
3) Props
4) Other details
- Change of cosplay plans will also be on a case-by-case basis; a new print-out is needed to be shown at the cosplay counter if the cosplayer chooses to change his pre-registration entry at the last minute.
- The cosplay moderator’s decision is final.
