DOLL CONTEST
The Costume-Con 19 Doll Contest consists of two main categories: 1. costuming an existing doll, and 2. creating both doll and costume. In keeping with the wide areas of interest of our members, the doll does not need to be humanoid -- if you have a great costume idea for Mr. Potatohead or Gertie the Garden Slug, go for it! Keep in mind that the convention is PG13 -- "Adam and Eve" Ken and Barbie will not be accepted without fig leaves.
Registration for the Doll Contest will take place at Costume-Con 19. You may enter a doll without attending the Con. The best way of submitting a doll if not attending is to have someone who is coming bring your doll for you. If that is not feasible, you may ship the doll to the Costume-Con 19 post office box (please supply return shipping costs). If you are entering the contest, but not attending the Con, we need the following information:
Name:
Title of Doll:
Category: Made doll or Purchased doll; made costume
Approximate dimensions (for display room purposes)
Made by: specify Child or Adult
Skill Level: as per Masquerade
- Novice: A beginner with very little experience in dollmaking. Someone who has won no more than two awards at a similar event.
- Journeyman: A dollmaker of intermediate skill. Any dollmaker who has won between two and six awards at a similar event.
- Master: A dollmaker of advanced skills. This includes anyone who makes, or has made in the past, more than 50% of their income from dollmaking, and anyone who has won more than 6 awards at previous similar events.
Please note that all dolls must be freestanding or have their own stand – we will not have any stands available, and dolls are not best displayed lying on a table.
Roomboxes are welcome, provided they have a costumed doll in them.
Dolls will be displayed in a secure area for the duration of the convention.
We cannot be responsible for any damages that occur to your doll during shipping.
Rudling's Hodge Podge, a retailer of doll making supplies, is donating modest prizes.
If you are not able to attend Costume-Con 19, but would like to enter a doll, it is best to find a friend who will be attending to bring it to Costume-Con for you. For alternate arrangements contact Judy Simpson at the CC19 address or at (Removed)
