Yo! BEM Franklin quit pinching the Orion slave girl. Slavering hordes from Hell please disgorge the lilac fairy, she is not a snack. Welcome to the Millennium Philcon Masquerade. We welcome anyone or thing to our stage. Be it your first costume or 51^st, come and show it off.

We will be using the ICG guidelines as far as experience classes. What this means is if you are competing at a Worldcon for the first time you will be judged against other people like you. The people who have been winning Worldcons for years will be competing against each other. The judges will be looking at both original (out of your very own fertile imagination) and recreation (say Princess Amidala or Darth Maul from the Phantom Menace) costumes.

The rules will be mostly common sense. No mikes on stage. Nothing that could endanger the audience. This means any use of or carrying of weapons must be OK'd beforehand. This includes anything I define as a weapon. If in doubt ask either now or at the tech run though or at registration. No open flame or smoke producing devices (fire marshals have no sense of humor). No live animals. Service animals are considered people. Remember there will be small impressionable people in the audience so keep it PG-13. No rented costumes, unless you were the original constructor. The full set of rules is now available.

Registration for the masquerade will be both by pre-registration and at the con. However we reserve the right to cut off registration to ensure we get done before morning. This means pre-register or register early at the con to make sure you will be seen. We want to see the result of your hard work. We encourage you to let me know if you think you'll be entering.

This is so we can make sure there's enough space for everyone. In this same vein, please let us know if you will have any very large props, so we can figure out the logistics for them.

Please send forms, any questions, suggestions, offers to volunteer, etc. to Vicki Warren, Masquerade Director at either address:
