Miccostumes.com will provide free cosplay costumes and wigs for cosplayers ( Right now We are planning to begin at US. first) who are planning to join in anime conventions,local cosplay meetup or anything related to cosplay. The “first Cosplayer” will get the free cosplay items from us, then the items will be shipped to “second cosplayer” from the “first cosplayer”, then to next and next…. The last cosplayer will ship back the items to us and we will make the items as the mementos.

Winners of Maid Lolita Photo Contest Announced!

Kevin

Dear contestants, thanks for joining our Maid Lolita Photo Contest. The Contest ended yesterday and the voting time ended at 12:00 April 30th.

We’ve received a lot of complaints saying that some of the participants gained votes by an improper way. We looked in it, and found that many votes of some paticipants were from brand new members that joined in the last few days and the only action they did was immediately comment on the contest deviation and add it to their favorites. It is totally fine and normal if there are a few new deviants voting for you. But if there’s a high proportion of new deviants, we’ll take those as abnormal and trustless votes. It is against our original intention and is contrary to the principle of fairness. That’s why we have to make the following ajustment to the rules.

  • If the proportion of votes from new deviants (joined in the last few days when voting and the only action they did was immediately comment on the contest deviation and add it to their favorites) is more than 10%, every vote from a new devaint over that won’t count. For example, if someone gets 50 votes and 10 of them are from new deviants, only 5 of the 10 votes will count. He/she will get 45 votes at last.

According to the ajustment, we recalculated the votes and here are the top two paticipants:

No. 1: #6 Azurimi

Valid Comments: 113

Favourites: 146

Total Votes: 259

No. 2: #9 MaaYa

Valid Comments: 92

Favourites: 156

Total Votes: 248

Congratulations, Azurimi and MaaYa!

Prizes for the Winners:

As promised, two Lolita dresses will be rewarded to these two winners.

First prize: a White Moon Lolita Dress

Second prize: a Dear Celine Lolita Dress

We’ll contact Azurimi and MaaYa to offer the dresses. In addition, every participant will get a 5% off coupon code from us. We’ll send the code by email later.

Note: The organiser Miccostumes.com reserves the final right of interpretation of this contest.

Note: This contest is supposed to end at 30th, April, and the voting should be stopped at the very point of 12:00, 30th, April. But the statistics is a lot of work. So we may not be able to do a very precise work. Luckly the votes of the top 5 are very decentralized. We supposed that one cannot gain more than one hundred votes in one our. If they do, we’ll take those votes as abnormal and trustless votes. The organiser Miccostumes.com reserves the final right of interpretation of this contest.

As promised, the top 3 cosplayers will be rewarded with free costumes and wigs.

First prize: one Vocaloid cosplay costume & one Vocaloid cosplay wig
Second prize: one Vocaloid cosplay costume
Third prize: one Vocaloid cosplay wig

We’ll contact the top 3 cosplayers to offer the costumes and wigs. In addition, every participant will get a 5% of coupon code from us. We’ll send the coupon code by email later.
