That sounds rather intriguing. I bookmarked the site and will be checking back every now and then to see what's up.

Will there be a cosplay contest?

Don't know, I just found the web site while looking for conventions. They are having a planning meeting this weekend so maybe they'll post some thing.

I came across this thread via Google and figured I could help answer your questions. First of all my name is Michael, but I go by Zippy online. I am one of the exec. directors for Anime Blast Chattanooga.

We will pretty much 100% be having a cosplay contest. What we're working on, and this will be part of this upcoming meeting and other meetings, how it should be formatted, if we should add any more elements, etc.

Feel free to suggest some ideas if you have them. ^_^ Oh and if you have any further questions message me here or e-mail us at GeneralInfo@AnimeBlastChattanooga.com

Awesome! If I can attend I will more than likely enter the contest. All I can say as far as advice goes is to make sure that you have unbiased judges: people who will vote purely on skill level for each category. I've attended far too many conventions whose judges cast their votes based on who the cosplayer is, what series they are from, and personal prejudices. Especially so if the judges are local cosplayers. Just make sure the judges are completely professional.

Thanks for the recommendations. I personally will probably not be heading up that component, so I'll pass it on to our staff member who will be. ^_^

I hope to attend, I'm doing two shows in Oct and may not be able to get more time off so soon.

[PetiteAltesse]

No problem. C: And thank you!

It sounds really fun so I will more than likely attend.

I completely understand that. I have a similar issue asking for work during the summer months. Well if you can join us we'd of course love to have you. ^_^

To that I simply say 'sweet'!. That seems to be an appropriate expression for one named CyberCandy.

It sounds really fun so I will more than likely attend.

Awesome! We'll certainly try to make it as fun as possible.
