Hall Costume winners are encouraged to show their costume on stage at the Masquerade. Presentations may not exceed one minute on stage. Action is generally better than words. Plan your presentation to give the judges enough time to view your costume from all sides. The presentation should draw attention to any particularly interesting aspect of the design or construction.
Presentation can make a mediocre costume great, or can break a good one.
Microphones will not be available to contestants. Any text must be taped for presentation, or read by the Masquerade Commentator. Tapes must be cued up and labeled as to the correct side. Please contact the Masquerade Director in advance, if you wish to use special effects in your presentation. Weapons and combat routines must be cleared with the Masquerade Director prior to the contest at the Entrants Meeting.
