BioWare’s first ever costume contest showcasing costumes based off of any BioWare game. It is free for all who wish to participate in the contest or be in the audience and watch. Some entries will be individuals; others will be groups with a shared theme. The large stage in the BioWare Base in the Hilton Gaslamp hotel will feature excellent viewing for all in the audience as well as the focal point for costumed entries to show off their costumes.
When & Where:
5:00p.m. Friday, July 22 at the BioWare Base in the atrium of the Hilton Gaslamp hotel. People in costume are advised to arrive before 5:00 pm to allow video recording, photography and setting up of the contest. Any photos or video taken must be for personal, non-profit use only! You are welcome to visit the BioWare base in costume any day during the convention, but the costume contest will only take place Friday Night July 22.
How To Enter:
Anyone is welcome to enter and the contest is open to all who wish to attend. You must be present to take part and present to win any awards or prizes.
Judging:
A panel of guest judges, assembled from BioWare staff and/or special guests will select the costume or costumes they think are best.

1) Costumes must be of original construction, or show significant modification of pre-existing materials. No
costumes are allowed that are purchased or otherwise obtained from a commercial source. It is expected that some
costumes may include as minor elements some purchased items.. This is a show of creativity and craftsmanship, not shopping ability.

8) All entrants allow BioWare/EA to video record and photograph their costumes for non-profit purposes.
9) The BioWare Base staff may reject an entry on the basis of inappropriate or unsafe behavior or content, because the event has reached its limit for entries, or for other reasons. Please keep all costumes based on BioWare games and/or characters.
We will be filming the event and possibly showing it live. So show up in costume, and be prepared to have fun showing off your creativity.
