Just in case may mapadpad dito na interesado (for cosplayers &/or photographers)

Filcosplay (http://www.fil. cosplay.ph) is inviting cosplayers and
photographers alike to contribute photos for the exhibit to show your
artistic talents and national pride and awareness. The idea is to have
familiar, famous or mainstream anime/manga cosplayers within the
setting of Filipino icons, symbols and elements, whether it be social
awareness, pop-culture, organizations, politics, and everyday life in
general.

Each photo team can contribute a maximum of 5 pictures. Only 20
pictures will be accepted.

Pictures must be 8R size or 8x11 inches. Minimal photomanipulation is
allowed. Can be colored, black and white or sepia.

This is not a contest. This is instead an opportunity to show everyone
how much cosplay has been integrated into our culture, and to strut
your creative juices into a gallery you can call your own.

Guidelines below as follows:

1) Photo topic must comply to the theme which is Cosplay Culture:
Filipino Flavor. Theme is composed of the following:

- Cosplayers can wear any anime or manga costume.
- Setting must be a location within the Philippines.
- Situation must be distinctly Filipino in nature, using icons and
landmarks, whether situational, political or socio-cultural.
- It is encouraged that the characters cosplayers are portraying
should look natural in their environments, or at least similar to
their actual situation or location.
- Photographs can be either a form of fashion shot, or to convey a
story (although the latter is more encouraged, because we rarely see
these types of photos).

2) Photos must be of 8R size or 8x11 inches no frames.

3) Maximum of 5 photos must be submitted per group. Each photo should
have the following details:

> Title
> Location
> technical camera details (optional)
> Photo description - not more than 50 words (optional)

4) Each cosplay group (composed of cosplayers and their
photographer/ s) should submit their names, group name and synopsis of
their work, explaining why they chose the cosplay and location, etc.
They can also include a short synopsis about their group as well.
Synopsis must not exceed 300 words, in microsoft word format, to be
submitted at filcosplay@gmail. com in this form:

> Name of Group (short synopsis of group - optional)
> List of names of people involved in shoot
> Synopsis/Photo particulars

5) Submission is first come first serve basis, but Filcosplay has the
right to reject works that are not within the context, quality and
theme of the gallery.

The gallery will be up for two days (June 16 and 17). A maximum of 5
volunteers are needed to watch over the gallery. Interested parties
can inquire at the forum (http://www.fil. cosplay.ph) or email at
filcosplay@gmail. com

Photos can be taken home by the respective owners provided they take
them at the end of the convention itself, and not before. Photos not
claimed can be either claimed at another time and place as agreed with
the gallery organizer, or donated freely for Filcosplay and Cosplay.ph.

Filcosplay is planning to add a gallery on Cosplay.ph to further
continue to display the works, but it is still under planning stages
with the website's coders. Pls wait for further announcements on the
issue.
