We have a truckload of fabulous prizes for the competition and players will have the chance to win in their category as well as the Overall Prize.

    Prizes range from Ideazon zboards, Ideazon Banshee Head Set, Ipod Nano, and other great stuff!

    Registration for the contest will take place from 8:00 PM PST- 8:45 PM PST. All entrants must be Hero-Con 08 Registered Attendees. Registration will be set so that each entrant can enter the competition for one preliminary category and if they are selected as the winner they will automatically be in the final competition. Contest entrants will walk down the catwalk in front of the audience then have 30 seconds to show off their moves in front of our panel of celebrity judges. We are sorry but no weapons will be allowed in the competition. Props will need to be pre-approved at registration.
