ABOUT THE COSTUMES

- Costumes may be purchased for the novice competition, but this must be noted during registration.

- With homemade costumes, only minor parts such as a wig, shoes or a pair of earrings can be purchased.

- You may have had help with the costume from another person, but this must also be mentioned during registration or for pre-judging.

- If the costume is homemade, during the day of participation you must appear at a panel of judges (so-called pre-judging) to tell a little about your costume. In there you have 5 minutes to talk about the costume.

- Cosplay costumes must basically be official designs from anime, Manga, feature films, TV series, video games, web series, comics and/or cartoons. If you are unsure of whether something is cosplay, or if you would like to participate in a costume inspired by Fanart, write an email to cosplay@copenhagengamingweek.dk.

- The costume will be compared to the reference image. The judges will not take the contestant's physical appearance into account.

- Offensive make-up and costumes are not allowed in any form.

The organizers reserve the right to disqualify participants from the competition or withdraw a prize if there is a breach of any of the rules, or if in any other way any form of cheating appears that makes the competition unfair.
