Masquerade Application

  • Welcome to the Animazement Masquerade Cosplay Contest!

    Welcome to the application for the 2025 Cosplay Contest at Animazement. We are considered to be one of the best competitions in the area and we take it quite seriously! This year we are doing something different. We have so many strong entries that the scene has become very competitive to enter, let alone win. One area we feel should be a level field is the ability to enter and have your entry judged fairly. That said - we will be accepting entries for a week. Representatives from the community will choose what they would like to see go onstage and they will receiving E-mails. There will be a waiting list and a list for those not selected. Do not give up! There are many great local conventions and who knows - there's always next year. So take your time filling this out and may the odds be ever in your favor!
  • We will use this to let you know if you were accepted, waiting list, or not accepted this time.
  • This is the level you will be competing at. Major awards are defined as a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or a Best of in a major cosplay contest of 500+ attendees. Honorable Mentions and Judges Awards do not count.
  • Are you doing a performance involving a skit or choreography or dance? Then you're doing a skit. Are you walking across the stage, hitting some poses, and walking off? Then you're a walk-on!
  • We need full legal names, such as from a government issued ID. This will NOT be made public - they will stay private in a digital document solely for security reasons.
  • What are the names of the characters being cosplayed?
  • Please let us know what kind of skit this is?
  • Tell us about your skit. What are you planning on doing? Walking out and spinning? An awesome performance of Snow Halation with light-up fans? We want to know!
  • Please tell us about your past competition experience. Please list the convention, the year, and if you won an award for that competition.
