Masquerade Change (Please read below)

!Attention to those who intend to enter the Masquerade!

With the convention around the corner, we would like to introduce our final event update: This year, we're switching up our masquerade judging categories to experiment with a different set of categories/division standards that are devised by the International Costumer's Guidelines. These divisions are used by most other conventions for their masquerade competitions. Main titles/divisions are as follows: Junior, Novice, Journeyman, Artisan and Master divisions. Some of you may be familiar with them and some may not. Visit our Masquerade section for definitions of these categories.

These new categories should not interfere with your costume; these categories are meant to determine what level you would like to compete at.

With this change, we have also amended our Masquerade form to include a section to indicate which division you would like to be judged in. If you have previously filled out one of our older forms, you may jot down which division you would like to be placed in, rather re-print/redo it completely. Please visit our main section for general information and form for masquerade entries here.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact masquerade@animaritime.org or programming@animaritime.org.
