Rules & Regulations

Everything you need to know before entering the SGCC 2026 Cosplay Competition

1

Ticket Requirement

The Cosplay Competition is only open to SGCC ticket holders. You must have a valid SGCC ticket in order to participate.

2

Open to All Skill Levels

Open to cosplayers of all levels of experience. Extra points will be awarded to hand-crafted costumes.

We encourage cosplayers to create and craft their own costumes while exploring more environmentally-conscious ways to build, reuse and reimagine cosplay materials. Handmade cosplay often gives materials a longer life through repairs, modifications, upgrades and reuse across multiple characters and events. From repurposed fabrics to recycled foam and thrifted accessories, sustainable cosplay shows that creativity can thrive while reducing waste.
