We are excited to bring back our Costume/Cosplay Contests!
We will once again have 4 age categories. We will be beginning with a Costume/Cosplay Parade so that everyone inside and out can see all the costumes. Judging will then take place at the end of the parade at the Outdoor Performer’s Stage by the Garage.
Ages 5 and Under every child will get a prize for participating.
Ages 6 through 12, every child will get a prize and there will be one grand prize winner.
For Ages 13-17 we are making a change. We have had so many wonderful teen costumes that we are still going to grant everyone a prize, but we will also be awarding 1st, 2nd and 3rd place this year.
For Adult contest for those 18 and over we will have three prizes only, First Place($75 value), Second Place ($50 value) and Third Place ($25 value) will be awarded with gift cards.
