This year’s JemCon will feature a truly outrageous in-person cosplay contest!

Everyone at JemCon is invited to dress up and have a great time at this year's masquerade disco! Be part of the cosplay pageant and costume contest Saturday night of JemCon at the start of the masquerade. Contestants will have their costume presentation scored by our judging panel as they model their outrageous costume live at the event! Group entries will be permitted, although a group will only count as one entry - no costume changes (meaning if you are part of a group, you will not compete as an individual also). In person entries will be available and accepted at JemCon.

Scores in each contest will be based on costume design, accuracy/craftsmanship and overall "universal appeal". There will be two categories: Truly Outrageous (Traditional) and Culture Clash (Outside the Box/Mash-ups). Contestants are limited to one category entry (meaning if you enter the Truly Outrageous category you can’t also compete in the Culture Clash category).

Winners will receive a truly outrageous sash of recognition and special awards will be acknowledged with certificates. And back by popular demand a fan favorite will be chosen.

So, get your best cosplay together and dress to impress at this year's JemCon!
