Chapter Awards during the
Fantasy & Science-Fiction Masquerade
While we appreciate the desire of the various ICG chapters to make special awards, they have grown to the point in recent years that they are delaying and indeed interfering with the awards from the appointed judges. For this reason, we are going to restrict the number and duration of such awards as follows:
- Only a maximum of three (3) chapters will be permitted to make special awards from the stage. Since the Minnesota chapter has already made a request, we will accept only two other such requests. Chapters wishing to make such an award should submit their request to: sffmasq@costumecon30.com
The first two received in this manner will be accepted. - These awards will be made during the Masquerade Halftime and before the official judges return to make their awards.
- We suggest that the award announcement should take the form of:
"We, the members of the _______ chapter of the ICG aka the ________ would like to honor (name of costumer) as the winner of our chapter's award, the (name of award), for excellence in (very brief description as to what the award is being presented for)."
Any other chapters that wish to make special awards are free to do so privately to the contestant(s) involved, and announcements of the awards given by the chapters will be posted on the announcement board and will appear in the convention newsletter (if we can find an editor for one).
