unlikely event of a tie, the winner will be deemed to be the entrant with the highest number of points in the

following judging criteria: Spirit: how well the cosplay costume encompasses your enthusiasm for the selected

character. The potential winners will be notified by phone on or about November 21, 2016. To claim the prize, the
