Cosplay Runway
Masquerade Upgrade! Here’s our cosplay competition at its fun and finest!
MidoriCon’s wig on this event is a little mullet-like: business upfront, party in the back. Like masquerades in the past, you can enter into our different tiers of competition to be judged by our cosplay experts. Entrants will show off their work to the audience on stage for their tiers and await the judges’ verdict.
Cosplay Runway Sign-Ups are only available in person at the Information Desk, so be aware that slots are limited and that they are first-come, first-served.
Cosplays will be pre-judged before the event under the following criteria:
- Costume Accuracy
- Creativity
- Dedication to Detail
- Overall Craftsmanship
This competition allows for a spontaneous tier, however: welcome the Runway Dance-off! As the judges deliberate, members from the audience are encouraged up on stage to strut their stuff. Audience members, you’re the judges here - your cheers will choose the victors!
Silly and fabulous moves are absolutely encouraged. Be brave!
Following the moves of our Runway Dance-off, the Masquerade winners will be announced. Come see (or be!) the beauty, skill, and posing prowess of these marvelous Cosplayers!
