Maid Contest
Kira Kira Entertainment is proud to present to you The Maid Contest! The Maid Contest is an event where maids of all kinds enter to compete for the title of Best Maid!

Any maid can enter the maid contest, regardless of gender, age, or style of uniform! No maid uniform? That's all right. Come and populate the audience. This contest is great fun to watch! Non participatory maids are welcome, too.

Contestants will answer a series of questions and do a series of tasks (such as table setting) that any good maid should know how to do, and will be rated by our panel of judges, which will differ from convention to convention.

The top three maids will win some fabulous prizes!

The Maid Contest has been at ALL-CON since 2010, and has also appeared at A-kon and Anime Fest! The Maid Contest this year is on Saturday at 10am! Please come to the Kira Kira Entertainment booth one hour prior to the contest to pre-register! (There will also be some sign-ups available at the door.)

Super Hero Sunday

The con can’t end until the heroes take the stage! ALL-CON and Hollywood Matrimony are looking for a few good heroes. (And villains too!) Super-Hero Sunday is not just a costume contest; it’s a pageant for super-heroes and super-villains. We all love the costumes, but we also want to know what makes you a great hero or villain, what your powers are, your weaknesses, and what you do to promote truth and justice (or dishonor and injustice if you are a villain).

Are you ready to join the ranks of the super-heroes? Do you have what it takes beyond just a really flashy costume? And what about the villains? What is a super-hero without a worthy adversary? Then you should compete in Super-Hero Sunday! All you need is a costume and a vision!

To be a part of the contest you will need to register at the BDG Studios table and make sure to line up with the other contestants at least 10 minutes before show time so everyone will be ready before the audience arrives and the competition begins. Be in costume and in character! You will be asked an array of questions about your qualifications as a hero or villain. Throughout the show fans will not only be able to enjoy the fun of the costume contest, but Hollywood Matrimony will once again be giving away various Comics, Blu-rays, DVDs and more from Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Marvel, DC, Universal, and so many more and all you have to do to win is attend and enjoy the fun.

Established and well-known heroes from comics, movies, and television are welcome as are new and original creations the world has never seen before! The panel of judges will take your costume as well as your performance into consideration. Original characters, from the serious to the silly, are always encouraged, but equal credit will be given to the familiar ones. With that being said, creativity of the new and knowledge of the old will go far with the judging. So if you opt to decide to go with an established character make sure you know about them and not just what they look like. Please remember costume groups are welcome, but they are still voted individually.

Hosting the event once again is Hollywood Matrimony co-founder Drusilla who is no stranger to costuming herself and may have a few surprises up her sleeve. In addition to Drusilla the other half of Hollywood Matrimony and BDG Studios founder Bobby will be on hand to keep things running as smooth as possible along with the always fun guest judges.

The competition is open to all ages with judging being split between two categories, Children (ages 10 and under) and Adult/Young Adult.

Trophies will be awarded as follows:

  • Best Children’s Hero/Villain
  • Best Super-Hero (Adult/Young Adult)
  • Best Super-Villain (Adult/Young Adult)

    ...and the grand prize!
  • Best of Super-Hero Sunday (both categories are eligible to win)
