Historical Masquerade

The CC 25 Historical Masquerade will take place on Sunday.
Byron Connell is our Historical Masquerade director
and we will publish the masquerade rules separately and in later PRs.

The Historical Masquerade will recognize creativity,
scholarship, stage presentation, and workmanship
skills in the context of historical clothing.
It will celebrate the history of costume, including all
cultures, periods, and types of dress.

CC25 marks Costume-Con's quarter-century of existence.
CC1 was held in January 1983;
in honor of that anniversary, except in the two categories described below,
the Historical Masquerade will limit entries to costume based on clothing
that was worn or could have been worn through December 1982.

In addition to the traditional entries reproducing historical dress in exact
or modified form, the CC25 Historical Masquerade will accept entries
in two special categories:

1. Ethnic costume or dress of any period (including the present).
2. Costumes reproducing works of art drawing, painting, or sculpture,
Western or non-Western -- from the ancient world to the present.
Ever wanted to do a costume with wings in a historical masquerade?
How about the Nike of Samothrace?
We look forward to your entries and to a great show!
