COSPLAY CONTEST
The official convention contest, open to cosplayers of all categories. Participants (sign up on-site) will compete before a jury composed of prominent figures from the cosplay community, associations, and industry professionals.
The judges will evaluate each participant based on:
Overall resemblance to the character
Costume craftsmanship and complexity
Portrayal of the character’s traits
Originality and artistic value of the performance
CONTEST RULES
Entry Regulations
According to Article 5 of Law 22.05.1975 n.152, wearing protective helmets or any devices that hinder person identification is prohibited, unless justified.
Fake Weapons
Replica firearms must be clearly marked with a red dot—a red tip or a patch at least 3 cm long on the barrel—or a red mark in the same area if there’s no protruding barrel.
Real Weapons
Bringing real sharp or dangerous items (firearms, knives, etc.), explosives, fireworks, smoke grenades, or similar is strictly forbidden. All props are subject to security inspections and may be confiscated or held for the duration of the event if deemed dangerous.
Projectile Weapons
Replica projectile weapons are allowed as long as they are not loaded with any kind of ammunition.
Melee or Sharp Weapons
Bladed or sharp replica weapons must not have pointed tips or edges. They are permitted solely for aesthetic use—not for combat or games. Metal swords or blades, even if unsharpened, are prohibited to prevent injuries. Use on stage is allowed only to display the prop to the judges, and they must be safely secured otherwise.
