The final event  of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Along with table top games we'll have other ways to entertain yourself throughout Zaki Con. Try your hand at a race or two in Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch, test out the green screen, play various board games such as Five Minute Dungeon and more! You'll also be able to make some crafts based on the movies to take home with you! Crafts like Turnip Head from Howl's Moving Castle a firefly, paper airplanes, and a witch's flower! Plus, coloring pages from the movies we'll be watching!
