This is a performance-only based contest, meaning you don't need to make your costume to be able to enter. Come take to the stage and show off, no matter your skill level!

 

Walk-ons will be limited to 45 seconds or less. 

• Please submit your custom walk on music in MP3 or WAV format, to be played while you take the stage when you fill out the sign-up form. If your music is longer than 45 seconds, it will not be played, no exceptions. Audacity is a great free software you can use to mix and cut audio.

• File MUST have your cosplay name (as submitted on the sign up form) and character name (as submitted on the sign up form) as the file name. Example: SakuraElric-Junpei-Penti24walkon

  • Your cosplay name and character name MUST appear first on the file name.

 

Please include in your application a small description to be read out at the event during your walk on. This can be about your character or about your costume, whichever you see fit.

 

Sign up will close on October 20th at midnight.  You should hear from us by the 23rd when and where the contest will take place. If we have reached our contestant capacity, we will notify by email if you did not make it, and if you wish to be on a waitlist. We will do our best to confirm your entry into the contest within a week of your submission. If you have not heard back after a week, please email cosplay@thepenti-con.org for a follow up.
