Why Costume and not cosplay?
Because we love to see you Original Characters, DnD persona’s as well. We believe all costume are worth participating nomatter if they are cosplay or original works.
Unleash your imagination, show off your craftsmanship, and bring your favorite characters or original designs to life at the RINCON Costume Competition!

Why charge money?
Because we are doing it a bit differently now. We notice it took very long to make sure everyone got they photo and it as a lot of work. Digital photo’s are still free but joining the cosplay photo competition we will make a photo and print it on beautifull photo paper so you have something to remember the day buy. This way its easier to judge, easier to take, a lot more fun for the visitors to have a actual momento and yes that cost money. But we did work really hard to keep the cost as low as possible!
