HOW TO ENTER:

Picture
  • Enter online at the link below.  You may also enter on-site at the front admissions table, no later than 2pm on Saturday.
  • Purchase admission to the event (you must be a paid attendee in order to participate in the contest).
  • Meet at the Cosplay HQ "Table C" at 2:45pm on Saturday, May 20th to be ready to walk the stage!
  • The contest begins at 3:00pm.
  • Note that all contestants under the age of 18 need a parent or legal guardian present at the cosplay competition in order to compete.
Two divisions are available: Children and Adults. The kids division will take place first, followed by adults. Group entries are welcome but will be judged in conjunction with single entries. Prizes awarded to group entrants will be equivalent to awards received for a single-person entry. The judges will call each entry out one at a time. Once on stage, you'll have about 20 seconds to introduce your yourself and your outfit, and portray the character in a safe contained way.
Remember to please be supportive of your fellow cosplayers! Cheers and clapping are highly encouraged. We're here to have fun, so any negativity or sour comments towards another in cosplay will cause us to ask you to exit the contest.

Cosplays don't have to be completely handmade to enter and have fun, but more consideration for the win will be given towards those that are.
​
Contestants are not allowed to throw anything off the stage, use any type of projectiles or anything else that could create a mess or have the potential to be a safety hazard. This includes (but is not limited to) liquids, glitter, confetti, pyrotechnics, fire, explosive devices, live animals, smoke/smog machines, flash paper/powder.
Retromania reserves the right to turn away any contest entry it deems inappropriate or not in compliance with the rules.
