For those unable to get a seat for the live Masquerade in Ballroom 20 if it fills up, or who just prefer a smaller crowd and the Sails Pavilion is filled too, this big-screen simulcast is for you. In 1974, Comic-Con added a costume contest to its events, and it's been a part of the convention ever since. Watch as the Ballroom 20 stage becomes an amazing cosplay competition of impressive, re-created, and original design costumes crafted by talented attendees. Emcees will once again be five-time Hugo Award-winning writers and artists Phil Foglio and Kaja Foglio, with intermission entertainment from The Saber Guild Star Wars performance group and The Corps Dance Crew.
