Had a few good questions:

Q: Can characters of any level enter?
A: Yes, even a level 1 may enter, but badges would be limited.

Q: Can I explain my look to the judges?
A: Yes you may briefly explain your look to the judges/use emotes.

Q: Do Bios count?
A: No. Your bio will only be looked at if you request us to look at it as part of your explanation.

Q: Can I use powers?
A: You may use powers that only effect yourself. Anything that has a large AOE radius or any kind of stealth is not permitted. If you have a question about a power, please ask.

Q: Can I show multiple costumes or multiple badges?
A: No, you need to how us one costume and one badge only.

Q: Can I bribe the judges?
A: No, the judges will not be bribed. However, donations to the Player Event Resource Committee (PERC) are always welcome and appreciated.

I enjoyed the winners costumes...wish I could have been there to see the rest of them, I bet there were even quite a few that didn't even make it.

Here is a group shot. Not everyone, but it's got a lot of people in it at least.
