No nudity. This is a family event. Costumes depicting anything not suitable for a general audience are not allowed to enter the contest.

Do not use any sort of projectile at all, nothing must leave your person– including water pistols, silly-string guns, and ping-pong pistols. Live steel weapons can only be drawn or unsheathed for the stage performance or for photos taken in the designated areas. Any weapon used in an offensive manner will be confiscated and you will be removed from the convention. Anyone who violates this rule may be disqualified from the competition and may be asked to leave the convention area. We expect you to use good judgment to keep everyone safe; with your help, we can have a fun and safe time.
