To be allowed entrance with a cosplay ticket, you must come to the event dressed up as a recognizable character from a video game, comic, movie, or anime, or as an original character. Simply putting on a hoody from your favorite game does not count as cosplay.

• • Costumes must be street-legal and suitable for all audiences.

• • Wear shoes, flipflops, slippers or other footwear. The soles of your feet should not come in contact with the floor.

• • Costumes which have the sole purpose of offending and disrespecting other individuals, cultures, minorities, or religions in any way, will not be tolerated.

• • If your costume could be mistaken for military or law enforcement, it is prohibited.

• • No metal weapons are permitted. Prop weapons must be made of a non-metal, non-sharp material. Air guns and other pneumatic weapons are not allowed.

Attending in cosplay will make you eligible for the selection of our ‘Best Cosplay’ proclamation after registering at the BeCosplay booth.
