OMGCon is a family-friendly event! As such, all OMGCon attendees must adhere to the following dress code policy at all times while inside of the convention center:
Clothing
It is imperative that our con attendees wear clothes. No costume is considered No Costume. Absolutely no nudity is allowed. Please ensure that all costumes are properly secured at all times and are not prone to “indecent accidents”.
Remember the Pool Rule: Clothing should provide coverage similar to what’s expected at a public pool, such as a two-piece swimsuit or swim trunks.
The upper chest must remain covered at all times, regardless of gender.
Messages/words printed on shirts or on your body are permitted, but they must stay tasteful. Clothing with distateful messages/words are forbidden. ((The same goes for signs!))
Shirts, clothing, costumes, or signs promoting pedophilia are strictly prohibited!
Short skirts, kilts, etc must be accompanied by proper underwear.
Dance Belts are require when wearing skin-tight suits.
Ineffective underwear (or a lack thereof constitutes) indecent exposure. Offenders may be turned over to law enforcement.
Footwear
To ensure your safety, we ask that you wear footwear at all times. You should wear a minimum of sandals/flipflops, even if your character is barefoot.
Skates and rollerblades are prohibited (you may bring them but are not allowed to wear them in the convention center).
Sneaker-skates may only be worn in sneaker-mode inside of the convention area.
OMGcon will not be held accountable for any damages or injuries that occur due to inadequate or improper footwear!
Weapons Policy
Please refer to our weapons policy.
Mock or Play
Fighting is not allowed in the hallways and convention area.
Wielding or handling weapons/props in a way that could potentially cause harm to others is prohibited, whether there was intent to harm others or not.
Mock-fighting is allowed on stage during the cosplay contest but must be carefully rehearsed, reviewed, and approved by cosplay staff.
**LARPing is allowed outside of the convention center as long as all safety precautions are adhered to and respected.
Large Costumes
Please be sure to keep all large costumes contained as much as possible. We recommend the use of handlers to help manage your costume if it is a large costume.
Large costumes (or large parts of costumes) are not allowed inside the Dealer’s Room due to blocking the flow of traffic and other hazards.
3-Foot Rule
Your cosplay can not extend past 3 feet from your body. Imagine a three-foot radius around your body; if a part of your cosplay extends past 3 feet, please do not bring it into the hallways.
Dragging Articles
Keep your cosplay maintained at all times. If your wig or outfit drags on the floor at anytime, it is not allowed, as this poses a biohazard threat.
Picture-Taking
Do not stop for pictures in smaller, crowded hallways. Please go outside, to a less crowded area, or to the designated picture taking areas.
Do not block doors, ramps, exits, corridors, and aisles while taking pictures.
If you want to take a photo of a cosplayer, it's proper form to ask first. Most will be happy to oblige and pose fiercely.
Selling Of Items
Unless you are part of the Artist Alley or Dealers Room, you cannot sell anything at OMGCon!
Enforcement
We reserve the right to remove you from the convention and/or cosplay events at any time.
If for any reason we feel that your actions pose a threat or hazard to others while at the convention, we will ask you to stop, or you will be removed from the cosplay events.
We simply ask you to be courteous towards others at all times!
