Journeyman: Those who have a firm understanding of how to put together a costume and show developed skills and knowledge. You cannot compete in this division if you have won more than 2 Major awards or 4 minor awards.

Masters: Master of the cosplay arts; someone who knows the ropes. Must have won 3 or more major awards.

Closet Cosplay: This is anything from modified clothes, partially made items, or something thrown together straight out of your closet! (As long as it is an official character, not an Original or otherwise!)

We can't wait to see your work! :)
