Cosplay Rules

Costume eligibility will be checked before entering, if your costume breaches any of our terms we have the right to terminate your entry.

There are no age requirements, however those under 16 must have permission from a parent or guardian to participate.

On the day of the event, entrants must check in at the Cosplay Registration desk by at least 2.30pm on the day of the event. Cosplay finalists and winner will be announced at 3.30pm.

COSTUME/PROP REQUIREMENTS Entrants should be able to move around safely in the costume and should not impede their or others ability to access the venue.

Costumes must NOT contain any offensive, racially motivated, or endorse any form of hate or hate group. No blackface or cultural appropriation is permitted. No part of the costume should include any harmful or potentially harmful materials.

All costumes should be acceptable to wear in public - nudity, adult fetish attire, and extreme BDSM is not allowed.

Any larger costumes may not exceed 3 metres between two points of the costume or prop.

All props should be less than 150cm in length - anything longer must be dismantled in crowded areas. Heavy items that could be used as weapons are not permitted (e.g. crowbars, iron bars, etc.). Power tools are not permitted. Any type of skates is not allowed inside any part of the venue.

Be mindful of the public - props should be hidden/covered up outside of the event regardless of how realistic - this prevents any unnecessary interaction from bystanders or the police. Any prop that can be fired is not allowed. No sharp or pointed parts.

Tails or trains are permitted but be mindful of crowded areas as they could be a slip or trip hazard.
