DEFINITION (Continued):
For this reason we will not answer any specific individual questions about which items
are or are not handprops. Handprops will be given the least weight of any of the judging
criteria, but might make a difference if the costumes are close. If it adorns you then it
is not a hand prop, it is a costume piece.
LOGISTICS:
Except for ST judging, we think the judging will take place early Saturday afternoon, so those who
want to watch the contest may, and those who do not want to watch can visit vendor tables,
etc. during that time. The winners will be announced before the film is shown on Saturday.
Same applies for Shock Treatment costumes on Friday.
JUDGING CRITERIA:
All costumes are to be judged as close as possible on Movie Accuracy. The judges will have
the following categories on a sheet to rate from one to ten.
Completeness,
Colors,
Materials,
Pattern or Design,
Fit,
Makeup,
Hair,
Props if applicable
Character is an intangible that can not be quantified. It is not a judging criterion, but MI
can not warranty what effect it may or may not have on the judges. There will be no ancilliary
people allowed to assist you in the costume contest i.e. No Columbia rushing up to Eddie for the
lifts, no Riff removing a rag from Rocky's head etc.
JUDGES:
Each category will be judged by 5 qualified people. Not all categories will be judged by the SAME
five people.
If there is a conflict of interest in a certain category for any judge an alternate will be
appointed for that category.
Judges will fill out a point sheet themselves and will not be allowed to confer.
