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!
