General Rules

Setsucon is so excited to see your amazing performance! Make sure to familiarize yourself with the rules before applying.

• Each group or individual participating in a performance is responsible for completing the Masquerade entry form and submitting it before the specified deadline.
• Only one submission per group or individual please. The person submitting the form will be our contact for the group or individual.
• All participants must be registered for Setsucon before they will be allowed to participate in the Masquerade.
• Online submissions will receive an email confirming whether or not they are approved for the contest; however, attendance at the practice session is still mandatory to keep your spot.
• There will be a time limit of 5 minutes for each skit. There will be a minute before and after the skit if time is needed to set up or take down props.
• Scripts must be sent in with your Masquerade entry form. This ensures the material that will be presented in front of the audience will be suitable for all ages (not to exceed PG-13). Remember, Setsucon is a family friendly convention; young children may be attending the Masquerade.
• Judges will not see the scripts before the event to avoid any unfair advantages. However, the Cosplay Team will be reading and approving the scripts.
• If you stray from your script and have any inappropriate material your group will be disqualified.
• Preparing an mp3 file or link with the desired audio is strongly recommended, but not necessary. All audio accompaniments must be brought to the Masquerade practice session.
• There will be a mandatory practice for all participants in the Masquerade before the event is held. Badges will be checked and performance order will be determined during the practice session. If participants are not present for this practice, they will not be allowed to perform in the Masquerade.
• Cosplays must comply with the Cosplay Policy.
