Cosplay | ScottyCon

Masquerade

Masquerade

A masquerade is a contest for cosplayers/costumers who want to show off their costumes on stage. Some cosplayers choose to perform skits and others show off their craftsmanship to compete for prizes.

At ScottyCon's masquerade, all entries will participate in a walk-on á la fashion show as an opportunity to show off their costume.

The masquerade will be held from 4 PM–5 PM on the main performance stage. You can register for our walk-on fashion show and craftsmanship competition here.
