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.
