Costume and Prop Guidelines

Costumes

• Naked is not a costume; any illusion to nudity is strictly prohibited. If we can see through your clothes to your body parts, you will be disqualified.
• Dramatically plunging necklines and bare chests are not allowed.
• All contestants must wear, at minimum, shorts or a skirt that completely covers the behind.
• Shoes, boots, or slippers are required (socks are not considered foot coverings).
• If your character does not wear shoes, footwear must still be worn.
• Portrayal of any real or fictional figure that advocates or endorses the dehumanization of any real group of people is prohibited.
• Hate symbols, even historical hate symbols, are prohibited.
• All contestants must be able to move their costumes on their own.
• Large costumes must be no more than 2 feet in all directions, due to the blocking of traffic flow and other hazards.

Props

• All props must be checked at the Prop Check Table. Once checked, a piece of orange yarn will be tied to your prop.
• No real guns, even those that are no longer functioning.
• Realistic-looking toy or model guns will be allowed only as long as they are clearly marked with orange on the barrel.
• No ammo of any kind (including Nerf darts, etc.) may be brought into the building.
• Sharp-edged weapons are strictly prohibited.
• Large foam, cardboard, and plastic props are allowed as long as they are not being used inappropriately.
