Changes to Cosplay Contest Voting

Hello again EPICon fans! There have been a few changes to the voting system for the cosplay contest.

  1. For the sake of fairness, cosplayers in officially sanctioned gear and cosplayers in their own custom threads will no longer be mixed in the same voting set!
  2. You may now cast a vote every 10 minutes instead of every hour. Good news for those who have been wanting to see more of those amazing costumes!
  3. Once your EPICon beeper alerts you that you can vote again, you can now head straight to the voting wall! It's only one less step than it was before, but we know you guys are busy with all of the activities.

    Unfortunately the votes have had to be reset, but we hope the changes will make for a better experience! Good luck to all of the contestants!

I think "officially sanctioned" means non-CW and "own threads" means CW.... basically they are now showing seperate walls for the two different categories instead of jumbling it all together.

Wait, how is this fair exactly? There would be some people who don't vote for CW's because they have issues with them. People's costumes should be judged on how they're comprised, not what they're comprised with.

since the votes have been reset, is it possible for us missing a reference image to upload one, somehow? (one can hope...)

What does "officially sanctioned gear" mean? I'm using a Farrah Fawcett tribute wig, but it's not for a Farrah Fawcett cosplay.

I agree with this so much. Makes it easier to vote for those in non-cw wears. ~Kai
