If files are too large and require a Dropbox link, you are still required to fill out the form.
Contest Entries: Everyone that submits will automatically be considered into our seasonal contests. Because the winners will receive a full page feature, we ask that submissions are of the highest quality. Pixelation and clarity issues may lessen your chances of winning.

Photos will be judged on photo quality, work and effort put into your cosplay, and creativity.
