Hi Hi~ The Japanese Society of Canterbury will be celebrating its 20th anniversary by holding a Canterbury Japan Day (similar, but smaller, to that of Aucklands) in March, 2012. English Info Page Facebook page
soooo.... why this event concerns YOU is that I have been asked by the committee to liven things up by organizing a Cosplay contest type thing! woo!
WHAT: Canterbury Japan Day 2012 Cosplay Competition WHEN: Sunday 11 March 2012 (10am~5pm) WHERE: 165 Racecourse Road, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch Area 1 - The Riccarton Market Stage / Area 2 - (Indoor and outdoor stalls and display stands) Riccarton Park
BASIC DETAILS and RULES - Individual entries only - Costumes will be limited to characters from Japanese anime, manga, game, movie, drama, e.t.c. Due to the nature of the event - The costume does NOT have to be made by the cosplayer (store bought cosplays are welcome!) - All costume safety rules from the Armageddon cosplay parade applies http://armageddonexpo.com/nz/special-events/cosplay-parade
- Spoiler:
3 Safety: 3a) No acrobatics or weapon displays. 3b) Prop weapons cannot pose a risk to yourself, the organisers, the convention centre or the general public. So we ask that your props and weapons be made of materials that will not cause harm. This includes- but is not limited to- items that can cut or burn or are very heavy objects. There will be a prop check at the side of the stage. 3bi) No real weapons (including but not limited to air guns and training weapons) or metal prop weapons are allowed in the contest. 3bii) No metal props or weapons allowed on stage. Small screws, hinges and bolts may be used to hold the prop together but must not be exposed. 3biii) Toy projectile props such as water pistols or nerf guns may be used so long as they are non-functioning. 3e) NO EXPLOSIVE OR INCENDIARY DEVICES TO BE USED- NO EXCEPTIONS. 3f) No mess is to be left on the stage, audience or judging area after your skit. No messy skits will be accepted. This includes but is not limited to food items. 3g) Choose body make up/paint carefully. Do not choose anything that will stain other guests and attendees. Remember to chose wisely for your own safety as some pigments or paints can be toxic. 3g) The event is billed as a family friendly event but does attract a varied audience so please choose a costume you will feel comfortable wearing in a large and diverse crowd. - The contest will be POLL BASED, where visitors will place their votes at a polling booth through out the day - Contestants are required to: submit the entry form below by Wednesday 29th February submit a photo of themselves wearing the costume by midday, Saturday 10th March attend a showcase on the main stage at midday and again at the end of the day for prize giving (details TBA) on Sunday 11th March - Contestants who would like to perform a skit may do so during the showcase (please inform me in your registraton form if you are interested) - The prize for first place is TBA, but it will most likely be a cash prize of $200 - Extra points for kimono/wafuku type cosplays! ;9

| I'm definitely considering entering, but it all depends on whether I can get a job in Auckland and thus afford to come down and join in. =)
If I do, I'll probably either be using my Mephisto cosplay, or my Nier one, depending on whether or not I get the latter finished. |

| Can it be a mixture of anime/original? As in I have a pic of Sakura holding up a kimono that she considers wearing but you can only see the design of the fabric and not what it ends up looking like, so I've had to guess at the obi colour/design and under kimono colour. Could I enter that? |

certainly! we are quite lenient as long as the character you are cosplaying is from a Japanese source! (i'm actually entering a fan-design myself) |

| I've decided to enter but my costume is not fully complete (minus a pair of gloves) - will that deduct points/matter too much in the way of judging? |

the judging is by audience poll throughout the day, so as long as the outfit is distinctively cosplay-looking anything is fine~

| So are we not allowed to have an original cosplay? For example japanese high school girl cosplay(no particular character) or maid cosplay(no particular character..). Are those not allowed? |

For example japanese high school girl cosplay(no particular character) or maid cosplay(no particular character..). Are those not allowed? Original designs for a character is okay but we would like the cosplay to be sourced from something, just to differentiate it from dress up~ ^-^ (and to encourage more chch ppl to get in to character cosplaying!) |
