Cosplay Contest

Show off your flyest 'fit of fiction at the cosplay contest hosted by Cardinal Cosplay!

A panel of judges select a Best In Show, two craftsmanship winners, two non-craftsmanship "presentation" winners, and six Judge's Choice winners to be awarded prizes based on a short low-pressure individual prejudging during registration hours. Contestants will each have a moment to shine during the stage show with a live audience before awards. There is no requirement for cosplays to be homemade. All costumes are expected to adhere to Ball State's student handbook, including prop weapons. If you are unsure if your prop meets guidelines, contact us to ask.
