Volunteers are the skeleton on which the convention is built. We are responsible for set up, tear down, and every task in between both great and small! While it is a lot of work it is also extremely rewarding. Volunteers will work closely with others in their department as well as coordinators to tackle tasks, take care of guests, assist our team of celebrities and talent, and even set up tech and demos for onsite attractions.

Do you have a cosplay you're eager to showcase? Don't miss your chance—submit your entry for the show today! Our contest runs a little different from other contests, so please read our Terms and Conditions.

**All advertised prizes require a certain number of pre-show sign ups. If thresholds are not hit before the day of the contest, the prize pool will be adjusted**
