2005 ASH BASH Cosplay Contest

The 2005 ASH BASH is fast approaching so get your costumes ready, because we will be holding our first cosplay contest. Cosplay is a Japanese term for costume play. It is very similar to Masquerade. In Japan, cosplay fans will dress up and recreate characters from science fiction to fantasy, from medieval to military. It’s a time for enthusiastic fans to dress up in their favorite garb or as their favorite character and have a lot of fun.

We encourage all of you to participate in the cosplay contest. Get inspired by checking out anime, manga, movies, video games etc… Recreate those very same characters from Japanese anime, or manga. Or you might want to be a character from a movie or television show or video game. Pretty much anything goes.

Examples of cosplay can be found all over the internet. Also, in the March issue of ARMS Magazine a cosplay game held in Japan was featured. Here is the link to the site:

Here are the parameters for the contest:
1. Costume must be original and unique.
2. For historical re-enactors anything from the Vietnam War period back to the stone age is legal.
3. Although we encourage it, contest participants are not required to play in costume. If you do plan on playing in costume, be sure that your costume meets the Airsoft Hawaii safety requirements.
4. The winner will be chosen by the staff of ARMS Magazine, and will receive a great prize.

Stay tuned for more costuming pictures and always check the ASH BASH site for additional rules and regulations.
