FAQ
|
|
May I enter more then one costume for the contest?
Yes, but you may can only win one prize.
How can I expect you to judge my costume?
Your costume will be judged on three factors, the amount of craft, originality and effort put into the costume.
Should my costume have a 'Christmas/Winter Holidays Meets Anime' theme?
Not neccesarily. However if you do, it will most definetly help the originality factor, if done properly.
Can I still enter the contest if I am not a U.S. resident?
Yes, you can enter, however you will not be eligible for a prize. However if there are enough foriegn entries, we can have a 'Best Non-U.S. Resident Category'. Unfortunately at this time we are doubtful of prizes for participants in that category.
