How will winners be chosen?
A panel of professional cosplayers will judge the contest according to the following qualities:
Presentation: How well do you compose your photo?
Personality: How do you capture the personality of the character?
Recognizability: Is the character recognizable from your interpretation?
Effort: Have you invested time into creating your cosplay? This could be accomplished in a variety of ways, from wig styling to sewing or makeup and finding the best items in your closet and combining them in a creative way!
What we won’t judge:
Skin color, weight, or any physical traits the cosplayer has that do not match the original character. People should feel safe to cosplay whatever they want.
Photography quality: we understand that not everyone has a professional camera and will not ding points for lower quality images.

Prizes will be awarded only if the potential prize winner fully complies with these Official Rules. All portions of the prize(s) are non-assignable and non-transferable. Any prizes pictured in point-of-sale, online, television and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other Contest materials are for illustrative purposes only. All ARV are subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between guidelines, disclosures or other statements contained in any such promotional materials and the terms and conditions of these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control. All details and other restrictions of the prize(s) not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Dorian in its sole discretion. The Prize winner shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, local and/or provincial taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. If required by law, Dorian reserves the right to withhold and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the amount of any tax or taxes due. With respect to non-cash prizes, it may be legally necessary under the United States Internal Revenue Code (as determined by Dorian in its sole discretion) for the Prize winner to pay the amount of any tax before receiving the prize. Each potential winner (or, if the potential winner is a minor, their parent or legal guardian) may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and where imposing such condition is legal, a Publicity Release, and any other documents as required by Dorian to deliver the prize (collectively, the “Prize Claim Documents”).

Should it be determined that a potential winner has made a false statement in any document required by Dorian, Dorian reserves the right to disqualify the potential winner and select an alternate winner. If a potential winner (or a minor potential winner’s parent or legal guardian) fails or refuses to sign and return all the Prize Claim Documents within five (5) days after being notified that they have been selected as the potential winner (or a shorter time if required by exigencies), the potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
