We welcome everyone to come see the long-standing staple of anime conventions: the Masquerade! For those interested in seeing what it’s all about, come to the Masquerade on Saturday night, find a seat, and watch a great show by fans, for fans.
We welcome participants, too! After all, it’s by fans, for fans. Interested in performing?
The Masquerade is designed for cosplayers who wish to perform a short skit on stage, or whose costume would be best presented in an on-stage format. For costumers who wish to have their costume judged but do not want to perform a skit (i.e. a walk-on entry), we recommend entering the Hall Costume Contest.
Best in Show winners will receive free, complementary memberships that include attendance for Otakon 2025.
Please note that these memberships are non-transferable and apply only to Otakon 2025.
In order to participate, you must have an Otakon Member Badge (Dealers, Press, and other specialty badge types are also valid).
June 26th at 12pm EDT to June 29th at 12pm EDT.
