GigaZone Gaming Cosplay Contest Rules and Regulations *
Have fun! Participate! The cosplay contest is for fun and prizes!
Costumes will be judged on the following criteria:
- Quality: How well is your costume constructed?
- Representation of character: How well you portray the character you are dressed as.
- Originality: Does your costume knock our socks off?
NOTE: Your costume must be age-appropriate. Nudity is NOT a costume. Just because some comics and anime show it doesn’t mean it’s acceptable here.
Judging
- Cosplay entry closes at 4 PM
- Cosplay winners will be announced at 6 PM
Replica Props/Weapons
Replica weapons, if a part of your costume, are allowed with the following rules:
- BLADED PROPS: No Live-bladed weapons. Any swords/daggers/spears/etc. must be made from non-metal materials such as resin, foam, worbla, or other materials. If your costume has a sword or knife that is metal, it must be peace-bonded and completely unable to be drawn from a sheath or scabbard. Peace-bonded weapons are attached to a scabbard or sheath using plastic zip ties in any color.
- GUN PROPS: Because people are always concerned when firearms are involved, we must take every precaution to put the public at ease and not cause panic. Gun props are allowed if the following conditions are met. AIRSOFT REPLICAS: Airsoft replicas are allowed but must be rendered unable to fire. This means they must be free of batteries or CO2/gas. Triggers must be depressed and peace bonded/secured with a Brightly Colored plastic zip tie to prove they cannot be fired. They will be provided for you if you do not have zip ties. Barrels MUST have some marking to denote they are not real weapons. Pistols MUST be holstered. Rifles should have a sling. Rifles also MUST have a brightly colored barrel blocker AND Orange muzzle. ALL REPLICA WEAPONS WILL BE CHECKED BY OUR STAFF BEFORE BEING ALLOWED.
