/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm so sick of the state of cosplay competitions and the organisation of cons in general in Australia.

When it comes to competitions, they're so often so badly organised- prejudging is either nonexistent or very poorly managed and only half of the contestants are spoken to. Hosts are more often than not clueless and don't ask any questions that are relevant to the construction of the costume, so when you're in the audience you've got no idea what kind of time or skills went into what you're looking at.

As for cons themselves, volunteers never have any idea what the fuck is going on or where anything is. There's no consistency and it's so frustrating.
