Cosplay Fashion Show:
Everyone is welcome to enter the Fashion Show! Whether you made your cosplay or not, anyone and everyone can participate in the CONjuration Fashion Show. There will be prizes* for winners for both entry types, Craftsman (see below) and Costume.
To enter the Fashion Show all you have to do is:
- Sign up with this form before the con.

MORE DETAILS
There is NO pre-judging required for the Costume Fashion Show participants; however, if you are entering as a Craftsman (see below), then you will need to go to pre-judging.
Judging for the Fashion Show:
The winners of the Craftsman category will be announced. Then, our panel of judges will narrow down a final selection from the Costume Fashion Show. The finalists in the Costume category will be determined by audience applause (using a decibel meter), then any additional winners will be announced. So, flaunt that fandom, and strut your stuff!
