Flesh and Blood Cosplay Contest General Guidelines:

• All cosplay contestants must be a ticket holder for the Calling main event or a side event.
• All costumes must be related to Flesh and Blood characters/cards/world of Rathe
• Each costume must be hand-made – prefabricated store-bought, or rented costumes are NOT permitted. It is expected that some costumes may include minor elements such as wigs, shoes, fabric that have been purchased. As a general rule, at least 75-percent of what you bring onto the stage must be hand-made.
• Participants cannot enter a cosplay they have previously won a Flesh and Blood cosplay contest with. 
• No real weapons or harmful items are allowed to be entered into the Cosplay Contest. This includes, but is not limited to: firearms, incendiary devices, tasers, laser devices, metal swords, knives, daggers etc. Prop weapons are inoperable weapons that support the look of your costume or character.
• By participating in the cosplay contest at Pro Tour Baltimore you authorize event organizers to take your photograph. This photograph may be used for reference by the judges when determining a winner or for promotional use by Legend Story Studios.

Judging Criteria:

Cosplays will be judged on three main categories:

Accuracy: How close is the costume to the original artwork/reference?

Quality and Complexity of Construction: How well the costume is constructed: the variety/difficulty/quality of craftsmanship techniques used to construct the cosplay.

Character: How well the essence of a character is displayed for a dramatic effect.
