Cebu cosplayers and anime fanatics are set to gather and gear up at their best for the most awaited cosplay event of the year! Nothing else but ARCHON 2K10!

On it's seventh year to host its self-named event, ARCHON (Anime, RPG, Comics, and Hobbies Convention), is good to go to make another mark in the history of Cebu Cosplay.  Just a while ago, the ARCHON 2K10 Organizers released its official video teaser. Check it out below.

Don't mind breakfast! It's definitely a must! On November 6, 2010, from 10:00am to 6:00pm, there is no other place to be than at the Ayala Activity Center.

The event is fully loaded with activities that will perk up all the attendees and participants. Some of the highlights of the event include the Versus Gaming Tournament, Drawing Contest and of course, the Cosplay Competition.

Interested to show off what you've got in cosplaying, gaming and drawing? You are so welcome! Listed below are the complete set of mechanics and general rules for the stated event activities above.

Cosplay Competition
GENERAL RULES:

1. Anyone from any organization can join.
2. We will accept characters from any written or visual media. Original Character’s (OC’s) will not be eligible for the competition.
3. Registration will be done before and during the day of the convention. Registering early will not determine the order of performance. We will randomly select which group/individual will perform first.
4. Metal props and metal costume components are allowed for this competition. With that in mind please nothing bladed, or anything that will pose immediate harm to any of the participants of the convention or yourself. (We advise those who carry swords to please keep them sheathed as much as possible). We will still not allow any pyrotechnics or chemicals to be used on and off stage.
5. Groups must present a skit. Single division participants may not need to present a skit BUT will be interviewed on stage.
6. This year we put great emphasis on character but we know it’s tiring to be acting like your character all day. Therefore you need only be in character from 2:00 PM till after you have gone on stage. Please be in the convention proper area during that time.
7. This year our parade of characters will be held on stage to also give a chance to people who want to take photos of those cosplaying (additional details will follow).
8. Please bring your CDs with your music if you wish to have it played during your time.
9. There will be a repair booth for those who need to make emergency repairs during the convention.
10. We know that cosplaying your favorite characters is exciting but please let’s keep it wholesome. Ayala is a family place after all.
11. The breakdown for this year will be:

• 50% - Character (on & off stage)
• 30% - Skit (audience impact, originality, neatness) / Interview (audience impact and IN character answering)
• 20% - Costume (accuracy & neatness)

GROUP DIVISION RULES:
