We’re excited to announce that we’ve added divisions to our costume contest: a Children’s Divison, an Open Division, and an Advanced Division. This decision was made in an effort to provide a fair chance of competition for our participants of all skill levels. In accordance, we’ve also added a few more prizes to adjust for our new format, including a framed undedicated autograph from Tabitha St. Germain, the voice actress of Rarity and Princess Luna, straight from our chairman’s personal collection.

While we left the rules have mostly unchanged, participants in the Children’s division can participate without the 70% self-made rule applying to them. Additionally, all children 13 and under will receive a participation prize. For our Open Division, we replaced Best in Show with Best in Open Division, but our other awards will remain the same as past years. However, for our higher skill level craftsmen/craftswomen, we’ve implemented the Advanced division, where the stakes are raised as we’ll only be giving out ONE award for this division. However, this award also comes with the opportunity to judge our 2015 contest and Tabitha St. Germain’s autograph, undedicated for the skillful winner of this division.
