Time

Prejudging for our cosplay contest will start at 12:30 pm in the Max Palevsky Cinema. If you want to participate, please sign up using the link at the bottom of the page. Be sure to check in before 12:15 when you're getting your badge from registration! You will be expected to report to Max Palevsky Cinema at your assigned time slot. 

• If you have a RED sticker, your time slot is 12:30-12:50. 

• If you have a GREEN sticker, your time slot is 12:50-1:10.

• If you have a BLUE sticker, your time slot is 1:20-1:40.

• If you have a YELLOW sticker, your time slot is 1:40-2:00.

If you miss your assigned time slot, you can potentially see the judges after pre-judging is finished if there is extra time before 2:00. However, if you miss your assigned time slot we cannot guarantee that you will be judged. 

All participants will walk across the stage when the contest and awards ceremony begins at 2:30. Please be present for this as it is your chance to show off and be recognized for all the hard work you put in!

Judging

To be eligible to be judged and receive prizes, you must have made at least 50% of your cosplay yourself. In addition, you must not have already won a cosplay contest with this specific costume before, whether at a previous UChi-Con or another convention. If your costume does not meet these conditions, you can still participate in the contest but will not be judged.

Prizes from our sponsor Arda Wigs will be awarded at the ceremony. Because we judge in many divisions, even if you think your cosplay is not as extravagant as some others, you should enter! Plus, people will take pictures of all of the work you've done.
