It’s showtime this summer at FDL, so get creative and get excited for our Cosplay Contest on July 20th! Dress up as your favorite character from books, TV, film, comics, anime, or manga – the more homemade the costume, the better! All fandoms are welcome, as well as mash-ups and original designs.
There will be two age categories: Teen (ages 11-19) and Adult. Participants will be given up to two minutes on stage to introduce your character, preform a short skit, call out catch phrases, do some action poses, and discuss the cosplay construction with the judges. (Bring an image of your inspiration for reference.) Our special guest judges this year are members of Peoria’s awesome Ultimate Alliance Cosplay group, and they’ll select one winner and one runner-up from each age group to receive cool prizes!
Register ahead of time online, or at 11:30 a.m. at the event. Strike a pose in the photo booth, and then stick around for Games Day to get your game on! It’s going to be a fun day at the library, so start planning your costume now!
