General Rules:

  • No entries will be considered after check-in and judging has begun. Advance online registration is coming soon. 
  • Restrooms for changing will be available on the first floor of the Museum of History. Entrants are responsible for their own belongings. We are unable to provide a secure area for personal items.  
  • No skits will be allowed.
  • All costumes must be family-friendly. Gore, graphic violence, nudity, swearing, or other objectionable elements may be grounds for disqualification as determined by the Costume Contest staff.
  • Realistic-looking firearms and weapons are discouraged and must be peace-tied.

Questions about Costume Contest rules and registration may be addressed to the Costume Contest Coordinator. Email us at info@cogsandcorsetsIL.com and include “Costume Contest” in the subject line.
