Craftsmanship Sample Judging Questions |
Please note that this is a sample document and the judging process may not include everything listed in this document, and/or the judges may decide to add to the following questions and observations.
- Who made this costume?
- What is the character?
- What series is he/she/it from?
- Did you bring reference materials?
- How many conventions have you worn this costume at?
- How many conventions have you participated in CosFest?
Non-sewn (Molded, Crafted) costumes:
- How did you come up with the concept?
- What kind of pattern did you use, did you make it from a model/picture
or did you see another costume like this and based it on that?
- What made
you choose these materials? Were they difficult to find?
- How is the costume
put together? Bolted together? Glued? Paper mache?
- Did you make the props
yourself, or did you special order them?
- How much help did you get? (if
any?)
- How long did it take you to make it?
- We will look at the inside of the
costume to make sure the costume is well-constructed and safe to wear.
- Did you need to wear special clothing under the costume that can be seen
through the joints? Did you make this yourself?
Sewn-costume:
- How did you get your accessories (jewelry, large gem props, etc.)? Did you buy them, did you make them?
- Did you use commercial patterns, modified patterns, or self-made patterns?
- Did you use a sewing machine? what kind of stitches did you use?
- Any hand-stitching (that should be checked for neatness)? What kind of hand-sewing was used?
- Are the fabric/material edges "finished" or left raw and cut? (this shows time and patience, if you make sure of the quality and details).
- What materials did you use?
- How are all the parts put together so that it stays ON...? (i.e. velcro, safety pins, hot glue, string, snaps, hook & eyes, buttons, staples, etc...)
Make-up and Hair:
- Who did your makeup? Is it stage makeup or special makeup? (We will rate how well the makeup is done)
- Is that your natural hair? How long did it take you to style it?
- Is that a wig? If so, how long did it take you to style it? Did customize it yourself, or was it made-to-order?
Shoes:
- Did you purchase or make your shoes?
- We will verify that shoes go with costume.
Presentation:
The judges will be present at CosFest as well as at appointment judging. We will note the flow and movement of your design before we make a final decision on the award winners. |
