Susume→PARADISE will be hosting the final PCAC Idol Festival on Sunday, August 24th (time TBD) in Main Events. We include cosplay cover groups from all idol franchises! Our Idol Fest is similar to the Masquerade, but features only exhibition performances with no competition or judging. All participating performers must sign up ahead of time as there are a limited number of spots. In the case we fill up there will also be a wait list. Anyone of the age 16 and under must have a permission slip signed by their legal guardians to participate. Please be sure to bring a signed copy to the event. All performers and audience attending must have a PopCult badge for at least the day of the festival.
We will be requiring videos with your application. Video must be of your members dancing to your chosen song. The video does not need to be in cosplay & you may edit multiple videos together to include all group members.
Time Limits:
1-2 People – 2 Minutes
3-4 People – 3 Minutes
5+ People – No Specific Time Limit (5 Minutes Recommended)
The application will include an option to submit a back-up song in the case your first choice is not available.
This is not a craftsmanship contest. Cosplay is required but casual cosplay is perfectly fine. Groups do not need to match. You can buy or make your cosplay. There will be no judgment on it whatsoever. Performers are welcome to apply with multiple groups however we ask for no major costume changes during the event due the complications it can create.
By applying, all Idol Festival participants agree to let PopCult Anime Con use their images for promotional purposes, both photographs and videos.
