Yes, you can but make sure you keep your wristband on!

The wristbands you are given are made to stay on for at least a week unless it is cut off, therefore we do not offer replacements. The same applies for lost wristbands. So take care of your wristband and keep them secure on your wrist!

General rules such as no exposure of genitalia, buttocks or breasts apply. We would like to ask all cosplayers to keep in mind that young children attend our event, therefore please be mindful of your sexy costumes.

Yes! However the prop cannot be made of metal of any kind; firearms, explosives and items that can pose a threat to other entrees are prohibited (please refer to our weapons policy for more information).

Any large props will have to be checked by our door staff on the day. While large props can be brought to the convention and used during the cosplay competitions, you may be asked to keep the prop in the cloakroom during the other times of the convention.
