No worries, you should be hearing something in the next few days since sign-ups just closed.

Good to know, thanks!

Everyone should have received answers now! It ended up being a little later than usual this year, since my day job decided I should work 14 days straight with only one day off in the middle of them (why on earth would anyone give multiple people their vacation days at the same time when you're already understaffed...? But I digress....)

We were really blown away with the number of entries this year. First year ever we have had to have a waiting list for walk-ons- couldn't believe it.

It will be very exciting to see!

Doing a copy/paste for the inimitable Doronjo-sama:

"Welp, I woulda put this in the A-Kon 24 Official Cosplay Contest Rules thread, but it seems it's been pruned! Anyway.....

Now that I've completed the final paperwork for all the Saturday night Cosplay Contest entries, I can announce that we will be taking approximately 36 walk-on signups at the convention itself. Signups for these spaces are on a first come, first served basis and will start at 10 AM Saturday morning in DeSoto A (Cosplay HQ). Please do not form a line before 10 AM. (You may promenade up and down the hallway before 10 AM, but the actual lineup for the spots will be at 10 AM sharp!)

So much to do before the con... my whole Sunday (last day off before con) is going to be nothing but helping my seamstress friend finish costumes. It's going to be a whole day of detailing and glitter bombing. XD

Yay! Thank you!

So these Walk-on entries aren't a part of the official contest, correct?

No, these Walk-on entries ARE part of the main official Saturday night cosplay contest. ^_^

Awesome. More motivation for me to get Jotaro Kujo's jacket finished!
