Getting ready for Kitacon?

Article by Kat B (Delusional) posted Monday 23rd January 2012

With Kitacon sold out and rapidly approaching, I hope everyone's cosplay plans are sorted? At the least I hope you've started ;) During all that sewing, don't forget to register for their cosplay events though!

If you want to show off your costume, look at taking part in the main cosplay event, the masquerade on the Saturday night. For those of you going with a more competitive nature, check out the cosplay competition - with both Saturday & Sunday times available, this allows you to show off your costume to a panel of judges and be put forward for a cosplay award. For the more flamboyant (cosplaying or not) sign up for 'Kita's Got Talent?', the variety show held on the Sunday of the con. All three events are open for entry, with the masquerade and competition closing a week before the con, and 'Kita's Got Talent?' closing at the end of March. Spaces are limited for all events though, so make sure you register soon! You can find all the forms on the cosplay section of the Kitacon website.

There's also been a change in staff at Kitacon, with Chibi taking over organising & running the cosplay events! You can get hold of her either by emailing the cosplay address (cosplay@kitacon.org) or via the Kitacon Forum. Any questions about the cosplay events, panels or general weapon enquiries, she'll be able to help! Check out the Kitacon weapon guidelines and the Kitacon Forum for extra info and to see what everyone else is making!

Calling all wig stylists - Wig Masters 2012

Article by Kat B (Delusional) posted Sunday 8th January 2012

The guys over at Coscraft are starting their year off by running an awesome new competition called Wig Masters. Open now and running until the 30th April (so you've got no excuse, plenty of time!) they are looking for submissions to find the best wig stylists in the UK. The overall winner will receive 8 wigs of their choice from their site, which is worth up to a hefty £300, along with prizes for runner ups!

Also don't panic if you're not planning any complicated styling for your current costumes, because they are also accepting wigs that were created before the competition. We know we've seen some amazing wigs go up on here, so good luck to everyone entering!

So to take part in Wig Masters 2012, head on over to the Coscraft website for the full set of rules and info on how to enter!
