MAGFest 2024 Cosplay Photoshoot Meetup Rules
Our rules for cosplay photoshoot meetups set the standard so everyone can be safe, comfortable, and fun! Pleinlase be respectful to both attendees and staff. Failure to follow meetup rules can result in dismissal from the meetup or dismissal from the festival entirely with no badge refund. If you have any questions about the below, please contact cosplay@magfest.org before Fest or the staff member on duty during Fest.
EVERYONE:
Follow MAGFest’s Code of Conduct and Dress Code/Prop Policy.
No means no, and cosplay (and photoshoot meetups) are not automatic consent.
Do not touch others without permission, regardless whether or not they’re cosplaying.
Follow directions of staff and, when applicable, photoshoot organizer(s).
When not posing, repeat the organizer’s order and count down with the organizer.
Stay behind the boundary tape (and aisle tape when being used).
Stay off the scenery (rocks, trees, etc.)
Cosplayers:
Check in your props at Cosplay Help BEFORE the photoshoot.
Only use your props in photos and as directed by staff.
Please ensure cosplays follow MAGfest Dress Code/Prop Policy.
Keep your badge on your person and/or in a visible place.
Make layers for large groups (short people sit/squat in front, tall stand in back).
Only pose or move in ways you’re physically able to/comfortable doing.
No photobombing (unless approved).
Photographers:
Photography at meetups must be free. No charging cosplayers for photos.
Encourage, don’t force. Cosplayers get final say on when/where/how they pose.
Only photograph cosplayers when they are posing (giving consent).
Let people take photos in the back by sitting/squatting in front. No aisle sitting please.
No unapproved tripods or other self-standing equipment.
Share your photos after on our Google Drive and/or Google Photo Album if you can!
You and the other people at the meetup represent your fandom; please keep that in mind!
Have fun.
