What is the best part of an Anime Con? Well many say it's the Cosplayers. A Cosplayer is someone who dresses as their favorite Anime character, and some even brave the challenge of getting on stage and showing it off in front of a huge crowd, aka the Cosplay Contest! There are a few rules for you cosplayers out there, nothing big, just a few small things.

1. NO real swords, sharp objects, or blade like weapons will be allowed. Someone could get hurt.
2. Guns need to have the orange cap on the front, just so the friendly security guard can know it's just a toy.
3. Please - NO fighting, play-like or real, because there will be people near who might get hurt.
4. If entering the Cosplay Contest, please bring a picture of the person your cosplaying as. Just because it's on every night on cable doesn't mean that the judges will remember what the cousin from episode 45 of the series looked like.
5. Please label your music that you plan to play on stage.
6. Please keep it family safe. Naughty skits ruin it for the kiddies and this is a "Family Friendly" Anime Con.
7. Most importantly, have fun and show off your stuff! That's what Cosplaying is all about.
