Atlanta Anime Day will feature a dealer’s room costume contest where the dealers are the judges. This is a friendly competition to both encourage people to dress up and to reward those that do. The costumes will be judged on a variety of levels with awards/prizes given out to the winners at the end of the day. Entry is from 10am - 2pm with the winners announced and prizes given out at 3pm in the Video/Event room.

Spring 2010 Theme: Ninja

For our April 10th 2010 show the costume contest will be all about the ninja. We want to see your ninja cosplay. Get creative. Look for ninja characters (anime, videogame and others) that stand out, or ones that aren't cosplayed much. Even if you don't want to enter the contest you can still show off your ninja style. Prizes will be awarded based on this theme.

* note - You can still cosplay without being a ninja character as we welcome all costumes. We are just having our contest based on a ninja theme.

To Enter: 10am - 2pm

Contest sign up will be located next to the Atlanta Anime Day registration desk. Contestants will be asked to fill out a short entry form with your name, character name, series, contact phone number and email address. We will also take a photo of you which will be used for the website as part of a gallery and to announce the winners online.
