Dress Code- All attendees must wear the following articles of clothing at all times while at OMGcon inside the convention center.
Clothing
This is a family friendly event. No costume is considered No Costume. Absolutely no nudity. Please ensure that all costumes are properly secured at all times and are not prone to “indecent accidents”.
Clothing should at least cover what a 2-piece bikini (for females) or swim shorts (for males) would cover. Remember to wear what you would wear at a Public Pool setting.
Signs that are held or messages/words written on shirts or your body are permitted but they must stay tasteful.
Shirts, clothing, costumes, or signs promoting pedophilia are strictly prohibited. Please do not wear clothing with distasteful messages or words.
Short skirts, kilts, etc must be accompanied by proper underwear. 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 consider wearing a minimum of sandals (ie, flip flops) at all times even if your character is barefoot. Skates and rollerblades are prohibited (you may bring them but are not allowed to wear them on your feet at anytime).

Mock or Play
Fighting is not allowed in the hallways and convention area.

Mock-fighting is allowed on stage during the cosplay contest but must be carefully rehearsed, reviewed and approved by cosplay staff.
*LARP outside the convention center is allowed 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 feet radius around your body, if it extends past 3 feet please do not bring the cosplay 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.
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.We reserve the right to remove you from the convention and/or cosplay events at any time.
