Cosplay Masquerade

The Masquerade is a major cosplay event, hosted on the Main Stage on Saturday. From Walk-ons, skits, dances, and the exhibition of costumes, each performance is judged and usually eligible for prizes. Cosplay staff are ineligible from entering the Masquerade. Cosplay Guests will make up the bulk of judges for the Masquerade. See Cosplay Judge Instructions.
