Summary Letting You Know Everything about this Contest:

Rules & Details:

1.    The contest will be held during January 1-20. Just send us your application form (Word format, Excel format, PDF format). We will announce the result at the morning of Jan. 21.

2.    Everybody can join in. Just make sure you had ever done Bleach cosplay, because your Bleach cosplay photos will be needed while applying for joining in the contest.

3.    After receiving your application form, we will make an article for each participant at our blog. And that blog is definitely the place where people can vote for you, via Like on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.

4.    Participants, who get the highest polls, will be winners. You can obtain extra votes if being willing to take a photo with the placard we make for popularizing the contest. Also, you can post some articles about the contest on your social networks or personal blogs you have, letting more people know our contest. Extra 10 votes will be given to your photo and extra 1 vote will be given to each article you post. But since some participants may not have these sites and we do want to make the contest fair to everybody, extra 15 votes will be given to each participant at most. And we will check the articles you post. If the article was published on a newly registered site, it won’t be effective. And different articles on the same site will be given only 1 vote.

5.  The number of winners is decided by YOU!!! There will be 1 winner if less than 10 people join in the contest. We will add 1 winner number once every 10 more people join in. That is to say, there will be 2 winners if 11-20 people join in, 3 winners if 21-30 people join in, etc.

How to Join?

1.    Download this application form (Word format, Excel format, PDF format). After filling it in, send it to miccostume[@]gmail.com (remove the “[]” while sending your email), with the title of “contest application + your name”.

2.    We will reply to you within 1 working day, sending you the link where the article we made for you can be seen. Yes, people can vote for you now, via like on Facebook, Twitter and Google listed above the article. Polls you get here will be added up when the result is announced.

3.    To help you know the current situation of the contest timely, we will update this article at each Friday, listing top 10 participants who take over the lead at present. Detailed polls they have gotten will also be clarified there.

4.    Application form will be accepted from 1 to 20 of January. But since participants come from different countries, we will conduct each step according to time at our place. Thanks for your understanding :D.

5.    How many people will win out is decided by you. One winner will be added once every ten more people join in the contest. They will be announced at the morning of 21th Jan. We will email each of you about the result. Anytime and any problem, just keep in touch with us.

6.    Each winner can choose his/her really desirable Bleach costume listed in the prize costume zone. We will sponsor you, no matter where you live.

How to Win?

Believe it or not, it won’t be difficult to win out in the contest. And never had we considered making the contest too complicated. All we look forward to is exactly more cooperation with all of you :P. So, to win out in the contest, here are some methods:

1.    The more early you join, the more likely you will win out. Since we will make an article for you within 1 working day after receiving your application form, you tend to get more polls if getting your article published more early.

2.    Mobilize your friends to vote for you. The voting system is open to everybody, once you have a Facebook, Twitter or Google account. So, the more people you can ask to vote for you, the more likely you will win out. But certainly, many cosplay devotees will be willing to vote for you as long as your cosplay pictures seem great! We have ever made an article about tips to win the contest, click here to see details.

3.    Get Bonus from us. As the organizer, we won’t vote for any participant. But we do offer extra votes for all contestants. As long as you can take a photo with this placard carried, we will add extra 10 votes for you. We show you an example here:

Bleach Placard

Or, it’s easy to post an article on your Facebook, Twitter, Deviantart, Cosplay.com or any other social network. Once your article is related to the contest and it’s better to cover a hyperlink to the contest in the article, we will give you extra 1 vote. This kind of votes can be accumulated. But 5 votes will be given to each of you at most. This aims to make the contest fair because some participants don’t have many sites at all.

FAQs:

Q: How should I do if I can’t download your application form?

A: just send us these required information about you: name, gender, nationality, Facebook, Twitter, Deviantart, Flickr, Youtube, any other personal blog, your most satisfactory Bleach cosplay photos (no more than 5 please), your self-introduction and the interview with you. Except sending us your photos, you are expected to make a simple description for them. It’s better to cover the name for the anime and the cartoon character in the description. You will be invited to introduce yourself and make an interview here. The self-introduction and interview will be published at our blog, as an independent article for you. This makes sense on each participant. Later, anybody will be able to vote for you via this article too. So, here are the questions for interviews:

1.    How did you know our contest? And how much have you known about Miccostumes.com?
2.    Is Bleach cosplay your favorite theme? Which character from Bleach do you most like? Is the costume for this character covered here or in our store?
3.    What’s your first cosplay? How do you think about it? Is there any photo shared with us?
4.    Is there any cosplay plan recently? Or which cosplay convention are you interested in taking part in?
5.    How long will you continue to do cosplay? Or do you think you will do it all the time? What does cosplay mean to you? Is there any element rather attractive for you?
6.    We will be interested to know the most memorable moment you got during cosplay.
7.    It’s believed our cosplay fans will be grateful if you can share us with your experience in this performance art. What’s the most important aspect for a cosplay beginner?
8.    Do your family members support you? Do you often talk about your cosplay works with them? Do they also love what you’ve done?

I’m also a devotee for cosplay. To do well in this performance art, I’m interested in hunting for funny, gorgeous or fantastic pictures. From these breathtaking works and interviews done by cosplay talents, I always get inspired.
