Tickets are for those manning the table, they are not for family and friends.
- The point of the Fan Village application is to allow fans to showcase their collections of their passions to the members of the public be it Star Wars, Babylon 5, Stargate etc. We are also leaving the application open to SFX artists and creators to allow to showcase their skills set that could benefit the community.
- The point of the SFX/Showcase Table is to allow artists to showcase their work/advertise themselves while at the same time providing live demonstrations to attendees so that they can watch/learn and ask questions. You are not permitted to sell goods/kits in as part of this table. You may hand out cards etc.
Well, not only are we costumers ourselves, but we love the energy cosplayers bring to events and to help increase the awareness of the work that goes into the costumes (aswell as to show all attendees how welcoming the community is) we have set aside a limited number of tables in the cosplay zone on the main floor of DCC
Any cosplayer/costumer/make up artist who has a portfolio/facebook page (or some link to a body of their work) not only wishes to promote cosplay/costuming in Ireland but also use it as an opportunity to promote their own work. You must be over 18 years of age to apply.
