Cosplay Policy

​

• Regardless of gender identification, we require all attendees to wear a minimum of sports bra-like coverage on top with leotard-type coverage on bottom (i.e. no bare chests or visible butt cheeks as with thongs or “plumber’s butt”). A costume must provide this level of coverage at all times, including standing, sitting, moving, or posing.

• All prop weapons, whether projectile or blunt, must adhere to the Weapons Policy (see next page).

• All military, law enforcement, and other emergency service costumes should be easily distinguishable from official uniforms.

• Hate symbols, including historical hate symbols like swastikas, will not be tolerated.

• Please wear proper footwear. Bare or stocking feet are prohibited, as are rollerblades, roller skates, and wheelies.

• Makeup must be properly sealed so that it does not rub off with casual contact or make a mess, such as glitter or fake blood.

• Be mindful of oversized props, including prop weapons, and long-hemmed costumes, e.g. capes, trains, to ensure that they do not pose a tripping or other safety hazard.
   

The Yukon Comic Culture Society (YCCS) reserves the right to inspect all costumes and weapons on an individual basis to ensure that the event remains completely safe. Those who violate these rules assume all responsibility in the event of injury.

• All prop weapons must conform to Territorial and Federal law.

• Projectile prop weapons must be rendered inoperable.

  • Explosives (including firecrackers, caps, fireworks, etc.)

  • Chemical weapons (including bear spray, mace, pepper spray, etc.)

  • Sharp metal-bladed weapons (blunt metal-bladed weapons are allowed so long as they are tied to your costume in such a way that they cannot be drawn)
