Rules for the Cosplay Contest CAGGTUS 2024

To take part in the competition, you must take part in a pre-judging and an appearance on stage (catwalk). If you do not participate in either of these events, you will be disqualified.
The competition is based on costumes. This means that the stage show will not be judged.
The use of purchased costume pieces is allowed, but these must be mentioned to the judges in the pre-judging and will not be scored as highly as homemade pieces.
The costume may have been made by more than one person, this must be disclosed to the judges in the Prejudging.
Deliberate false statements about one's own costume will also lead to disqualification from the cosplay competition afterwards.
The stage performance can be carried out by several people together, but the costumes will still be judged individually.
The costume may be based on a known template or on an original character.
