Conversely, where an individual has designed or constructed a costume but not modelled it, any award won by that costume will nevertheless be counted as an award to that individual. The time allowed for presentation is 30 seconds for each model in the entry. Thus a group of four may have up to 2 minutes. Any entrant wishing to have longer than this must contact the organiser at least four weeks before the event in order to make sure that this will not cause a problem. The judges at any Qualifying Masquerade may choose not to award one or more of the Major Awards if they do not feel that there are entries worthy of it.
All decisions made by the judges are final.
Any questions of interpretation of these rules should be addressed to the Masquerade Director. If there is a dispute about the interpretation of these rules, this may be put to the President for the time being of Costume Guild UK, whose decision shall be final.
