The Cosplay Parade by Lucca Comics &
Games, organised with the
contribution of Cultural Association Flash Gordon,
is back!
2009 edition of Lucca Cosplay has some great news. After last year's test with online pre-registration, this year the real registration for the cosplay contest parade will be entirely online. The participants will only be required to confirm their presence in a dedicated area near the stage, thus mostly eliminating the unpleasant ritual of queuing up.
Speaking
about waiting up, this edition aims to reduce the contest duration,
in order to meet the needs of both participants and 
audience, besides
the ones of the organisation staff of other parts of the show. In
order to achieve this goal we decided, reluctantly, to limit the
number of participants. 400 cosplayers will parade each of
the two day of the contest for a total of 800 cosplayers;
a quite high number, anyway, allowing a broad participation, yet
manageable in the limited time foreseen for the contest.
Online registration will be
available from September 25th at 9:00 PM CET and will
close on October 23rd on
the website of Cultural Association Flash Gordon, where they are
available also a brief overview on the procedure and the official
rules, also downloadable as pdf file.
The contest will be divided in two distinguished sessions that will take place on October 31st and November 1st , from 12:00 PM CET to 5:45 PM CET.
Stay tuned for further news on the cosplay parade and relevant initiatives!
