We have changed our categories this year to more closely align with the International Costumers Guild guidelines. While we ask the presenter to select a category (Novice, Journeyman, Master, etc.) prior to the show, the Co-Chairs will have final authority in determining the appropriate category.
Contestants who have assembled their costume from commercially produced or otherwise primarily found assemblies are encouraged to enter the “Show and Tell” category of the competition.
Previous grand prize winners are ineligible to enter for another grand prize, but may enter the Masters category.
Relax and remember this is supposed to be FUN. Treat others with respect and courtesy. Remember to laugh.
