Otakon Cosplay

[Ginny]

I have a question to throw out there...

Does anyone know what's up with the Cosplay rules this year?

"Entries will be separated into one of three categories: youth, novice, or journeyman.

Youth - Contestants 13 years of age and under
Novice - Contestants that have never won a costume or cosplay award at any convention
Journeyman - Contestants that have won at least one costume or cosplay award at any convention "

Ummm... where's masters? I know we just discussed this earlier when Yaya brought the judging systems up, but... WTF? You win ONE award and have to compete against people who have won like TWELVE? I feel sorry for all the newbies out there >.<

I might not compete at all this year, seeing as though I have no group to be with so... yah. Anyways, I just thought that was really strange.

That's weird. I'm certainly not going to enter if that's the case... oO;

[Jibrille]

that does sound... off.
I am just planning on doing the walk-on/masquerade deals... no skits for me. ^^

it should be like, 4 or 5 awards before going up the next level. icky.

i wish they would just come up with a universal judging system...

Face it... Every con has a judging system that screwed. No matter how you tweak it, somehow it will get worse.

Thats why I stick to hall cosplay..... NO SKITS FOR ME!!!

[kelldar]

ha, same here... yet somehow I've ended up entering at 2 out of 3 of the conventions I've been too... o_o;

Thems the breaks, it dosn't matter HOW many awards you won, it matters who's skit rocks out the hardest.
