At Sugoicon, we continue to try new twists on old favorites, and the Cosplay is
no exception! If you're nervous about the idea of getting up onstage, have no
worries on that score -- there is no stage! Instead, we'll have a friendly and
informal reception, cosplayers mingling with congoers, with judging quietly
going off on the side. All the prizes are based on costume quality, so you
don't need to have a skit ready... but hamming it up for the crowd never hurts, ne?
The Cosplay rules are now online!

Anime Hell
Main Programming (Boone)
[Friday: Midnight - 4am]

Because we demanded it... AGAIN! In the spirit of all that is horrid to watch,
we present you with Anime Hell. Straight from AWA, Dave Merrill brings us all
things that are wacky and odd. While not necessarily all anime related, it
contains some of those obscure clips you’ve seen through the years. From wacky
fan films to bizarre professional clips. And as always obscure animation,
commercials and things we can’t even begin describe in print. Come, bring an
extra big sense of humor, and prepare to laugh till Dr. Pepper comes out of
your nose.

Music Video Contest
Like the best songs, anime can be exciting, sad, romantic, and joyous.
If you're one of the fans who like to combine the two, we want to see
your work! Just follow these rules,
and you can show off your skills to the entire convention.
