DragonFall Annual Cosplay Contest

We’re sure you have a ton of questions on how to submit your cosplays! So let’s get into the nitty-gritty...

 

Cosplay guidelines

• Absolutely NO real weapons allowed. Costuming swords made from wood, foam, cardboard, or other crafting materials allowed. All gun props absolutely must have a tip colored in safety orange that is at least one inch wide and clearly visible from ten feet away.

• You are responsible for your props. Dragon-Fall will not be held responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged props or props used to injure another attendee or damage property.

• Costumes must be family-friendly. This means that, at minimum, "swimsuit areas" must be covered by clothing. No body paint coverings of such areas will be allowed into the convention.

• Hate symbols, even historical hate symbols will not be tolerated.

• If staff deem a costume or prop to be inappropriate, you will be asked to make adjustments. If you refuse to make such adjustments, you will be asked to leave without refund.

• Use of props to injure, threaten, or abuse staff or attendees or damage property will not be tolerated. These things are crimes! Any props found to have been used for any such activities will be subject to the penalties of the law.
