Competition Time 5
Digital Vizualisations and Manga Entertainment UK have got together again (with Viz, Neo and Ubisoft) to offer a Cosplay Competition with a difference: Ever wanted to enter a Cosplay competition, but didn't like the idea of walking up and down the catwalk and answering questions from a hyper stranger waving a microphone (actually Emma & Stuart aren't that bad)? Yes? Then we have the competition for you!
On 29th & 30th May 2010 at the MCM Expo Show DigViz and Manga Entertainment UK will allow individuals and groups of Cosplayers to have their picture professionally taken and entered into a free competition. There will be prizes for best male, best female plus prizes for some runners up. Best of all you get to see yourself within the pages of Neo Magazine.
Questions:-
What do I have to do to enter? Download, print out and fill in this PDF Consent Form. Or you can fill a form out on the day (we have plenty at the show as well.). If you are under 18 years of age you will need a parent to sign. Bring it along on the day of your choice (no need to book) and hand it to the DigiViz photographer when you are ready to have you photograph taken. No questions, interviews, parading up and down, just your best side photographed.
Will there be prizes for individual entry and group entries? No, we have switched to just choosing the best entries with runners up.
Can I enter as part of a group and as an individual? You as a person can enter as many times as you like only if you change to a different costume on each occasion. This also requires a form to filled out on each occassion. Anyone found entering the same costume multiple times will be disqualified.
What time will the photographs be taken? The shoot is open from 10am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday. No booking required, just turn up by Manga Entertainment UK stand, fill in a form and step in front of the camera when ready.
How many shots will be taken of me? 2 shots will be taken. The best shot (pose) will be entered into a shortlist for the competition.
What is the competition judged on? It's open to any genre of Cosplay: The complete package of great pose and costume authenticity- so get practicing in front of that mirror ^_-
How will I know if I've won? The winning entries will selected after the show is over and the winners will be notified by whatever details were entered onto the consent form (please write legibly), but I'm guessing email. The winning shots will also be printed in Neo Magazine, so everyone will know who won- judges decision is final so no complaining.
What are the prizes? I believe we have some special goodies from Ubisoft to do with Assassin 2, DVD box sets of your favourite series, films, computer games, books, magazines, posters and perhaps some cool clothing to some of the winners (might be Xbox, might not)- not bad for just standing there and looking good ^_^
Any Advice for winning? Yes, you are not a model, so don't pose like one. Pose as your charcter does in the film/ anime/ manga/ game.
Where can I find pictures of myself? Try here ^__^
Can I order prints? Yes, you can Email us the picture reference number and we'll tell you how to obtain high quality prints delivered to your door (without the sponsors logo). The one you see on Flickr is low-rez with logo in place. You are free to download and use the Flickr version as long as you don't try to sell it or pass it off as your own work.
Who won the Competition last time? Best Male, Best female , plus 7 runners-up.
