Smallville ComicCon

Sunflower South, Main Stage

A Triple Diamond Cosplay Wedding!

Noel G’s

“Best of Show!”

Ask to take a photograph. The majority of those participating in cosplay are more than willing to stop for photographs, and will want your photograph to be the best it can be, so they will want to pose. Don ’t sneak photo-graphs while they are eating, adjusting their costumes, or using restroom facilities.

Be considerate. Don’t monopolize a cosplayer’s time. Don’t block doors, event aisles, or artist/vendor booths and don’t interfere with events/activities. There are other fans who want to interact or get photographs, even auto-graphs. The cosplayer also wants to enjoy their ComicCon experience as well.

Don’t touch. Cosplay is a huge investment. Those fans striving for an accurate representation have in-vested considerable time and money in their costume and props. Some elements may be fragile, easily break, and even be irreplaceable.

Be respectful. Cosplay is not consent. Be polite, accept the responses you are given; and treat those in costume the same as you would any stranger on the street. Respect personal boundaries. Do not permit others to harass a cosplayer. Report inappropriate behavior to Smallville ComicCon staff.

malfunction. No gratuitous display of flesh is permit-

ted.

No pyrotechnics, smoke, fog, fire, fireworks, explo-

sions, concussions, etc.

No dripping or oozing of fluids, confetti, or glitter

limit visibility, are oversized or equipped with large

components or associated props. Please be mindful

of people, exhibits, and merchandise around you.

Weapons and props will be inspected at the door

each time they are admitted. Weapons are required

ing weapons are permitted. Airsoft/paintball and simi-

lar weapons must be unloaded, not charged with air/
