This is a structured costume contest. There are rules, entry forms to fill out as well as a meeting and rehearsal walk to attend. Contestants get to strut their stuff on our generous stage in front of a live audience. Theatrical sound and lighting can be used to enhance contestants presentation.

The Formal Masquerade is scheduled to take place on Saturday. April 30, 2011 at 8:00 p.m.

• Contestants are required to attend the Masquerade meeting at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday and should bring a completed entry form and any music they plan to use. The preferred format for music is compact disc.
• Contestants are required to take a rehearsal walk across the DemiCon stage. For the convenience of all, rehearsal walks will be scheduled by sign up. All props, music and footwear are to be brought to the rehearsal walk.
