Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con Costume Contest
In the coming weeks, I’ll be writing and featuring more content related to the Wizard World Comic Con in Philadelphia, running May 31st to June 3rd. This will ultimately culminate with a number of con-floor reports, some fan and creator interviews, and thoughts on the random panels I’ll be attending there. Some featured guests include William Tiberius Shatner, Chris Hemsworth (Thor!), and WWE Champ CM Punk. So be on the look out for more fun stuff over the next couple weeks.
All that said, this costume contest seems pretty neat. Starting today (Friday 5/18), you can post a picture of yourself in costume to the costume contest tab on the Facebook page, or on twitter by posting the link to @wizardworld with the hashtag #wizardpic. Pretty simple, right? And the prizes include some cool stuff, like tickets to Snow White & the Huntsman, signed celebrity photos, and possibly free VIP entry to the con. There’s also a chance to be entered into the national contest, which could ultimately get you VIP treatment at ANY WW con in 2013.
So what are you waiting for? Get a costume, get a camera, and GET ON WITH THE WINNING!
