Cosplay Fashion Show

We replaced the walk-on aspect of the traditional cosplay contest with the Fashion Show. You simply need to walk out on to the stage and strike a pose, you do not need to make your own costume. This contest is all about presentation, how much do you look like the character, how well do you pose, own it!

Requirements

You must be in cosplay and strike a pose at each posing point on the stage (practice your poses!).
You don’t need to have made your own cosplay.
There is no performance component to this contest.
Sign up in person on the day of the contest. Note: We cannot accept new entrants after the cut-off time. No exceptions.
We may have to cap entry if we reach capacity so show up early if participating is important to you.

Format

We will meet you at the main events room approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled show time (this is the “call time”) to check you in and get everyone in order before the show starts. You’ll need to come to the registration room before the contest to register and get your category and entry number.

At call time, you’ll be put in order within your category group and will come on stage in that order once the show begins.

On stage, you’ll be announced by the host with your name and character. Then you’ll have about 30 seconds to strike a pose for photos on the posing points marked on the stage. That’s 30 seconds in total, not on each point! When finished, you’ll leave the stage and return to the waiting line in the same order as before.

Once all the beginners have had their individual time on the stage the whole beginners group will parade on to the stage in order and the judges will present their awards. The group will then leave the stage and the process will repeat for the Intermediate and Advanced category groups.

Registration

Registration is in-person at Otafest only (see the Format section)!

There is no pre-registration for this event.
