Costume Contest Judging Criteria

Accuracy
What we look at: We will be checking how faithful your costume, hair, make-up and props are to the mythological character you’re dressing as.

Presentation
What we look at: The goal of the costume is to look as much like your character as possible, this includes body motions and phrases you say. Those who act in character will score higher than those who do not.
