>>6441523 This is why I don't bother with competitions

Agreed. I also don't bother either for the same reasons.

When you enter a contest you now have to worry about:

friends of the judges
ebay costumes
liars whose mom or grandma made it
judges that can't tell a handmade prop/costume from a store bought one
Judges who vote for a costume cause it comes from something they worked on
People who buy a costume and change one simple thing on it and then claim they made 80% of it


It's all just too much to expect it to be fair.
On the plus side no one cares who won what in a week. Most of the pictures will be of the actual GOOD costumes anyways. No one will care about Harley Quinn #75764
