Maskerade at the DWCon 2012
Welcome to the Maskerade for 2012 and welcome back for those experienced folk who are back for another bite at the pineapple…..
The Maskerade is one of the highlights of the weekend, traditionally taking place on the Saturday evening in the Dysk, a parade of Discworld characters to delight, astound, amaze and often scare the bloomers off you.
For those who don’t know what the Maskerade is, it is the chance for individuals / groups to either recreate favourite characters / events or pay homage to ‘Discworld’. At the very least it involves costuming and from there on entries include singing, dancing, acting or all three (and sometimes none…).
There are categories for entrants, including Master (previous show winner) down to Rookie (a first time entrant anywhere, ah bless) and there are prizes in each category. If you are under 14 years and want to take part, you are welcome to do so and will be judged alongside the adult entries. Should you not want to do this, this year there is a separate Children’s Fancy Dress Competition later on in the weekend, where children under 14 compete against each other for the prizes (no grown ups allowed!)
Application forms and the accompanying notes will be available shortly: so get those tape measures unpacked, sewing machines fired up and needles poised for action……
There is NO online registration, it needs to be done by post (instructions are on the forms) or on the Friday evening at registration.
For those of you just watching, applaud all entrants, laugh, cry and enjoy the show!
