RULES AND REGULATIONS:
Cosplay competition contestants are required to register on the event day itself.
This competition is limited to the first 50 cosplayers who register. (tbc)
Cosplayers who

Cosplayers MUST already be in full costume upon registration.
Only cosplays of
existing characters from manga, anime, game or movie series are
allowed. Original characters will be disqualified.
Please bring
along a clear reference of the character you are cosplaying and attach
it to the form when you register. Marks will be deducted from the final
score should the cosplayer not provide reference for their characters.
Cosplayers
with music performances MUST submit their music in CD/DVD in MP3 format
and pass it to the person-in-charge when they register. Please label
your CD/DVD with your real name and the name of the character you are cosplaying as. AYF does not hold responsibility for any file format compatibility mishaps which might occur.
Each contestant will be given a tag with a number upon registration. Judging will start right after the registration.
Contestants are required to wear the tag at all times during the competition. Please wear the tag where it can clearly be seen.
Hidden judges will move around the event area and individually judge each contestant.
Contestants must
be at the event area at the time of the competition to be judged. No
excuses will be entertained should the contestants miss the judging
period.
10 finalists will
be picked by the judges and will be given 2 minutes on stage to best
portray their character. Should the cosplayer not appear when their
name/number is called, their place will be given to the next cosplayer.
Finalists may ask assistance from not more than 2 other cosplayers/staff for their act.
Costumes, props,
materials, tools and any properties owned by the cosplayers are
entirely of their own responsibility. The organizer will not be
responsible for any damage/loss of items.
Judges decision is final and contestants will be judged based on: -
Craftsmanship 20%
The
technical stuff; how well the costume has been made, in regards to its
detail, material and overall construction as well as usage of props
Characterization: 20%
Stay
true to the character you’re portraying; whether it is the posture,
facial expressions or general attitude, to fully convey the
representation of your character to the judges.
Creativity 10%
You
may look the part but are you able bring your character to life? Sing,
dance, re-enact a scene, something! Convince the judges that they are
seeing the actual anime character come right before their very eyes.
