And the Envelop Please...
The Annual DragonCon Masquerade Costume contest was held last night with its traditional hilarity and strangeness. There were 44 contestants in a wide variety of genres who put a lot of work and effort into their creations. Congratulations to all the contestants for a job well done. These were the best of the best.
| Best in Show - Children’s Division | Jeffrey Stainthorpe from the Legend of Zelda |
| Honorable Mention - Children’s | Savanna Shepard Morgan Luvall Danielle Luvall Justin Byrd Lori Snyder |
| Best Fantasy Costume | Anne Brunsgaard as the Snow Queen |
| Best Star Wars | Leah Levin as Queen Amidala (with baby Luke) |
| Best Star Trek | Chris Gainey and Chris Johnson as the Borg |
| Best Babylon 5 | Veronica Lane as Delenn |
| Best Sci-Fi | Chris Brown from Wizards |
| Best Historical | The Tredici Group |
| Best Skit | A Figment of Your Dementia |
| Best in Show - Masters Division | The Stringers with the Kenner Star Wars Action Figures |
| Best in Show - Overall | Star Wars - The Sith Who Shagged Me (Joe Neuburger, Kevin Reid, Steve DeVore, Brad Allen, Bernie Fallon, Rob DeVore) |
The winners this year were simply outstanding. The Best Skit winner presented a scene about Romeo and Juliet (in the original Klingon) featuring the Animaniacs as the chorus. Truly bizarre and extremely funny. It was only slightly edged out in fan favor and by the judges by the outrageous Star Wars and Austin Powers combination of the Sith Who Shagged Me.
Needless to say, a good time was had by all. We would like to thank our gracious judges: Cheralyn Lambeth, Jack Stauffer, Richard Hatch, Richard Herd, Grace Lee Whitney, Peter Jurasik, and Robert Trebor. Masters of Ceremony were George Perez and Peter David. Thank you to all of these outstanding and talented folks! See you next time.
