The ConQuest 53 Masquerade is going old-school! No stress – just fun! Bring your favorite costume and strut the stage on Saturday at 8 p.m.! Everyone will be competing for Best In Show!
All skill levels — and all ages — are welcome to participate. It doesn’t matter if you have a meticulously hand-crafted re-creation or if you just threw together a costume made of duct tape and cardboard. Bring it! Our Masquerade staff will be available to give advice on your costume and your presentation.
IMPORTANT:
- Sign up at Registration before noon on Saturday.
- Technical rehearsal is mandatory at noon on Saturday in Main Programming. You MUST attend, but you don’t have to wear your costume yet.
- Music or audio MUST be pre-recorded in the .mp4 format. Bring your recording on a thumb drive to the rehearsal or email it as an attachment to cosplay@conquestkc.org.
- Report backstage at 7:30 pm Saturday fully dressed and ready to go!
- Masquerade will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday evening in Main Programming.
The Masquerade will be emceed by our Feisty Mistress of Fear, Sherri Dean, the Hostess with the Ghostest!
Whether this is your first masquerade, a trial run for a new competition-quality costume, or an exhibition costume for laughs, we’re looking forward to seeing you!
