The LeakyCon Cosplay Contest
Dust off your witch's hat and don your best dress robes, the LeakyCon 2024 Cosplay Contest is officially accepting entries!
We're looking to see how you brought the characters and creatures we love from the books and movies to life! Whoever or whatever you are from Camp Half-Blood to Helm's Deep, you're welcome to enter!
The contest will take place on Sunday, July 7, 2024. If you have any additional questions, please email programming@leakycon.com.
Here's the Process
Registration: to reserve a spot, each contestant must either register online via this form or on-site during the allotted check-in period. We have a limited number of entry slots open and all contestant entries will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once the slots are filled up, there will be a wait list.
Check-in: There will be a designated time period on Sunday morning for contestants to check in with a member of staff and have a picture taken of their finished costume. Contestants who register online in advance will experience faster check-in on site, but must still be physically present to check-in with the programming team. If a contestant doesn't check in during one of these periods, they will lose their spot, and it will be given to someone on the waitlist.
Finalists: Contestants will be notified who the finalists are by midday on Sunday. Those finalists will move on to a final judging session that will take place in the early afternoon.
Cosplay Parade and Winner Announcements: As part of the on-stage Cosplay Parade & Contest on Sunday afternoon, all who'd like to participate, regardless of finalist status, are invited to participate in the Cosplay Parade. The winners will be announced at the end of the parade.
Further details and times regarding check-in, judging, and the Cosplay Parade will be announced at a later date.
