Preparing Your Masquerade Entry

Online registration (XXX) must be completed by midnight Thursday January 16th. Any entrants after that must register in person at the Masquerade table. Registered entries may change their information until Masquerade Registration closes at 6pm on Saturday January 18th. All entrants must check in at Masquerade Registration prior to their rehearsal slot.

Arisia uses the skill division set up by the International Costumers' Guild (XXX). If you are unsure what division you should register and compete in please contact the Masquerade Director (masquerade@arisia.org).

Contestants competing in the Re-Creation category must provide at least one photograph of the original work at registration. Documention (books, movie stills, photographs) supporting your costume will be provided to the judges and returned following the Masquerade.

Contestants wishing to have their costumes judged for Worksmanship must provide documentation at registration. You may mail documentation with advanced registration or supply it at the desk.

All audio (speech and music) must be pre-recorded and provided at registration. Provide your recordings as an uncompressed WAV file on USB or CD. Put only the music and speech that you want us to play on the media. Bring multiple copies in case your USB or CD become unusable prior to the competition.

At the Registration Desk there will be a chart to sign up for rehearsal times. Every entry must show up for rehearsals or risk being removed from the masquerade.
