Cosplay Competition

Anyone 12 or younger will automatically be put into the CHILDREN category.

For anyone 13 or over, it depends on the cosplay:

• If you don't want to compete or you made less than 30% of your cosplay, the EXHIBITION category is where you belong.
• If you made at least 30% of your costume, the BEGINNER category is your best bet.
• If you have made over 70% of your costume and you can provide a portfolio to the judges, then you want to sign up for the EXPERT category. If this sounds like you, don't forget that all expert entries are REQUIRED to sign up online. 

 No. Children are never judged, and the adults have a category called "Exhibition" were they can show off their costume without judging. 

To qualify for a judged section (Beginner or Expert) you will have to have made or modified at least 30% of your costume. For Children or Exhibition categories, you don't have to make it yourself. 

All entries in the Expert category required to sign up online by 5/20/22. 

If you are entering the Beginners category a judging time slot is required and they are first come, first serve. That means signing up early might be a good idea. 

Children, Exhibition, and Beginner entries are welcome to sign up in person at the convention if there is any space left. Expert entries are required to be entered online beforehand. 

If you just need to make repairs, we carry tools at the cosplay table to help. 

If you think you can't fix it in time for the judging, rehearsal, or the competition, talk to the cosplay desk. We will work to adjust the schedule to give you extra time to fix it. 

Sadly, we currently do not have a skit section during the Cosplay Competition. However, we are more than happy to welcome your skits in the talent show!

We understand that life is unexpected, so if something comes up or there is a change of plans, please get in contact with us at bhconcosplay@gmail.com so we can work around whatever is needed. 

Handlers are more than welcome to guide their cosplayers during the contest.
