Greetings, lovers of the Golden Age of Science Fiction! In the proud tradition of Demicons past we will once again be having a Friday night Hall Costume contest. As always, just don your finery and strut the halls, you may be our next lucky “Best in Hall” winner! We will be following the same rules and procedures as last year, so you don’t need to stand before a judge to be considered an entrant. And again, as in last year, our wandering judges will be scouting the halls to hand out special hall awards!
Here’s the scoop: To be considered a Hall Costume entrant and eligible for the major awards, you must have your photo take by our photographer between 9 PM and 10:30 PM Friday night. There you will receive your Ribbon of Participation. Only those with Ribbons of Participation are eligible for the special hall awards, which include ribbons for those who best remain in character, or what anime we like best, or super workmanship (among others). The major awards, presented during Masquerade on Saturday, include rosettes for the following: ARTIST'S CHOICE, AUTHOR'S CHOICE, FGOH'S CHOICE, and of course BEST in HALL.
In addition to rosettes, something special (taken straight from the annals of time) will be awarded to the lucky Hall Costume winners. Photos of this special item will be posted later on our website, www.demicon.org, but you can check the Demicon archives there to see what the lucky winners received last year!
SPECIAL HAT CONTEST
“YOU HAT ME AT FLASH GORDON!”
In keeping with Demicons of the past three years, we are once more having a special Hat Contest! The theme of this year’s contest, of course, will be all things dedicated to science fiction’s “Golden Age” (not necessarily limited to “Flash Gordon!”) and how you can best represent your idea on a hat (or some other form of headgear)! There are subjects a-plenty out there, folks; you are limited only by your imagination! Your entry will be judged as you come for your photo! Have fun, and do your best! As with prior hat contests, a rosette and a special prize will be awarded to one lucky winner!
