Cosplay Lip Sync Battle

Cosplay Lip Sync Battle Rules

1. You must be a registered attendee of the convention on the day of the competition in order to compete in Cosplay Lip Sync Battle.
2. Attendees who are registered as part of a Community Group, Featured Talent, or Influencer (or any “Guest” status) may not compete.
3. The Cosplay Lip Sync Competition is a family-oriented event. Please keep all costumes to a “PG-13” rating. This includes, but is not limited to, nudity or overly revealing attire, explicit words or images on the costume, or anything that would be considered inappropriate in a public setting. Additionally, we ask that you keep this in mind when blocking your choreography for your performance. 
4. All songs must be appropriate and should be submitted in their “public radio edited” versions without vulgarity or obscene, indecent, and profane content.
5. Songs are limited to three (3) minutes long. You will be required to submit the edited song with your application in advance in MP3 format. Song queues (starting and stopping and audio file during the performance) will not be accepted.
6. The competition is open to all ages. However, contestants under the age of eighteen are required to have a parent or guardian with them at all times during the competition process.
7. Once a submission has been approved and accepted it cannot be changed and must be performed as submitted. No changes will be permitted which includes the cosplay, song choice, number of performers, etc.
8. Only one entry is allowed for individual or group. Groups are limited to four (4) performers. Performers cannot perform as an individual and as part of a group. Additionally, performers cannot be part of multiple groups.
9. All weapons and props must conform with our convention policies, the rules of the host venue, and local laws concerning carrying a weapon. If there is a question of doubt – don’t bring it. You can read our event rules including our Props Policy online at https://jax.wasabicon.com/policies/
10. For the safety of our performers, footwear of some sort must be worn at all times while participating in the Cosplay Lip Sync Battle. Even if the character you are performing as does not typically wear shoes, this is a requirement and will not be allowed on stage.
11. For the safety of performers and audience members, stunts are not allowed as part of the Cosplay Lip Sync Battle and can include (but are not limited to) jumps on or off stage, front flips, back flips, throw based stunts, etc.
12. Stagecraft that you are unable to quickly set and remove yourself between performances are not permitted. Props are allowed so long as they similarly fit in those parameters, however our staff may not be able to assist you with this so plan accordingly! For example: you would be allowed to bring something like a chair onstage for your act, but you would not be able to set up and break down an entire backdrop. 
13. Special effects including but not limited to fog machines, pyrotechnics, lasers, water effects, confetti, glitter, or throwing items of any type into the audience are not permitted.
14. Lighting requests cannot be accepted at this time for the Cosplay Lip Sync Battle. Please note that the Main Events room will be fully lit throughout this event and cannot be turned off, dimmed, or coordinated to specific cues as part of your act in any capacity.
15. Green Mustard Entertainment, Inc. reserves the right to modify, update, or amend these rules at any time.
