Info about the Event
The Video Game Cosplay Contest [VGCC] will be held like a Hall Cosplay. It will be located at the Evil Pastry Studio Artist Alley Table. We will have “Judges” at the table to talk to the entrants and take their photo. At the end of the contest, all the winners are selected and will be notified via a txt message, a phone call and it will be posted at the Evil Pastry Studio artist alley table as well. The plan is to have the winners notified and gathered to announce their awards on stage.

Photos and video footage of the the entrants and VGCC event will be put together in a video and uploaded to Youtube. A link and copy of the photos and footage will be given so it can be used for promotional purposes.

DugFinn will be answering any questions.

I am part of a small cosplay group and some of us are doing a Devil May Cry walk-on at the cosplay contest, annd then some of the people who arent in the DMC group are making Classic Resident Evil costumes. My question is me and a friend wanna do the DMC walk on and an Resident Evil group, may we enter both? It's only two members of the dmc group who wanna do both (me and a buddy)

My cosplay group has already registered to do a walk-on for the cosplay contest cosplaying from Dragon Age 2, my question is, are we allowed to enter the Video Game cosplay contest with the same costumes or no? Thank you.

Doug,
we have large costumes that will not be able to get on stage with, will that be a problem?

I have a question about a cosplay I'm making and if it falls under the 50% rule. Would I ask that here or is there someone specific I should message?
