PRE-REGISTRATION GUIDE LINES:

There will be no price increases for the entire pre-registration period. What does that mean? That means pre-registration will be $25 the entire period! So there is no rush to register before the price goes up. This also means that cosplayers can get in for the WEEKEND for a simple $20!

GROUP RATE

Groups exceeding more than 8 people are allowed to take 15% off their grand total. In order to do a group rate the group must be paid with *ONE* check. Please insert a memo stating that you are taking the group rate. Don't forget to take off the cosplay discount for those cosplaying for the grand total, please.

ECONOMY PACKAGE

Groups of 6 may pay $20 dollars a piece for a WEEKEND PASS ONLY. 6 people are required, no more--no less for the Economy Package.

PRE-REGISTRATION CUT-OFF DAY

Pre-registration will be cut off on March 20th , 2010. Have your items post marked for March 20th or they will be marked return to sender. Thank you.

ON-SITE / AT CONVENTION GUIDE LINES

**There is no longer a 2 day pass. Only 1 day and Weekend passes are available. If you need a 2 day pass, it is recommended that you pre-register. 2 day passes are only available if you pre-register.

I LOST MY BADGE!

There is a 5$ replacement fee for lost badges. If it's lost again the fee will remain the same. If a badge is lost more than three times you will need to re-register. Anime St. Louis is not responsible for badges once they leave the registration area. It is solely up to you to keep your badges on you.

WHY ARE YOU I.DING ME-AGAIN?

The color coordinated system of red and green is to keep age groups together. As dreadful and prejudice as it sounds, a lot of age groups like to hang out with people their own age. It is also to determine when people are doing bad behavior what kind of punishment should be dealt. Under 18 (red) by law aren't so competent of their own actions so a parental unit may be called. Above 18 (green) are competent so they will be given punishment as seen fit. The issue also arises to switch badges with some one to get them into an 18+ panel. We aren't saying everyone is going to do this--but to be sure for 18+ panels people WILL be carded at the door. There should be no issue for those possessing a green badge. Because this means you have presented your ID at registration and will have it with you throughout duration of the convention.

COSPLAY DISCOUNT GUIDELINES

Below you will find the rules for our cosplay discount for 2010.

  • L: L's cosplay is one of the simplest out there, a white shirt and jeans. Because we want to avoid folks showing up in only that to gain an easy discount, we ask that L's applying for the cosplay discount come with their hair styled/costumed to look like the character's hair. Make-up for the eyes can also help.

  • Schoolgirls: If cosplaying a schoolgirl, please avoid doing so with just a generic outfit. The closer you are to resembling a character from an anime or to your costume looking like a Japanese school uniform, the better. If you're unsure about your costume, bring in a reference picture you used to make your costume to help us in making our decision.

  • Lolita: Gothic Lolita is allowed.

  • Accessories: Wearing cat ears and a tail while wearing what you would normally wear on an average day will not count as a costume. We feel that it is only wearing accessories. This counts toward many of the popular items sold/seen at conventions, including an Urahara hat, Bleach Captain haori, ninja headband, or Akatsuki cloak. It needs to be a full costume.

  • OCs and RPCs (Original characters and role play characters): This rule can be a little tricky, so bear with us. As these are characters that are your own, the rulings for them may be strict, and we ask for your patience when decisions are made. Some guidelines are as follows: -Bringing a reference picture of the character, while not a guarantee, can help you. -Your character cannot be in just casual clothes, or a-like set-up as stated in the "Accessories" rules. This also includes rave outfits.

  • Other pop culture influences: We're not about to turn away Darth Vader, because he might choke a staff member. Costumes influenced/from other pop culture icons are allowed, but we won't be giving the discount to things originating from 4chan. This includes Pedobear, Anon, etc. Anime did not originate from 4chan, so yes, Mudkips are allowed.

  • Original costume designs: Original costume designs are welcome, but to help make the process faster, please follow the statement below.

  • If you are concerned that you won't qualify for the discount, please send an e-mail to animestl@gmail.com and zayane@gmail.com with a description of your costume and a picture of it. Doing so will also make the process for you quicker as we will have seen your cosplay ahead of time.

  • Note that these rules are subject to change at any given time, and Anime St. Louis has the right to allow or deny the discount based on our rules. We apologize to those who think they are strict, but we feel that as our event becomes bigger, we need to begin creating guidelines in order to make registration easier and faster as well as to avoid those that wish to gain a discount without effort. This discount is a privilege, not a right. We wish to keep the discount for years to come as cosplay and costuming in general play big roles in events like ours, and we wish to fully encourage it. We thank you for your patronage and can't wait to see what you have planned. Thank you.
