How can I cosplay my favorite character at TTBF?
Put together a creative, funny, or imaginative costume of your favorite LITERARY character and wear it.
What do you mean by literary character?
Any character that has ever appeared in a book. Period. Doesn’t matter if the TV show or movie or comic book came first. If they’ve appeared in a book you can dress up as them!
What if I want to enter the contest?

What about toy weapons?
Sorry, but your character will need to leave their weapon props at home.
What if I don’t know how to make a costume?
