Welcome to Anime Mid-Atlantic's Hall Costume Contest! This contest is geared for cosplayers interested in craftsmanship competition, but do not want to get on stage. The contest is held in two 2-hour blocks Friday and Saturday. Registration forms will only be available on-site, so there is NO PRE-REGISTRATION! Registration for the Hall Contest is first-come-first-serve basis. Staff will be closing the doors for the last 20 minutes of each time block, so our judges can finish with all entries waiting to be judged. Please be prompt if you wish to compete!
