Disqualified subjects include:
- Public figures tied to or known for "behavior that does not support a safe and comfortable environment for all users." (per the Terms of Service)
- Real people who are not public figures (memes excluded)
- Stock and AI generated images that do not depict known IPs
- Original characters (I'll have to do another contest like that sometime!)
- Images or scenes that do not contain cosplayed characters (such as objects, logos, or scenes where the players do not depict the referenced characters/figures)
- The PG-13 rule was tough to enforce since we do have vanities that reference media that is rated 'R' or 'Mature' as in movies or games. Anyone that cosplayed something outside of the PG-13 range that was referenced in our own vanities (horror movies, for example) remains eligible.
Since some people posted consolidated entries (with a mix of eligible and ineligible), rather than delete posts, I will post a reply below this announcement with the list of IGNs that are currently eligible to receive participation prizes and the number of valid entries they have. <3
