Masquerade Winners

[Ilpala]

We hope everyone had a great time, you all deserve a round of applause, cos, you know, YOU make the masquerade what it is

Thanks to our cosplay judges, Odangochan, Kez, and Gunstarvixen, who did an awesome job despite having to pick from so many great costumes and of course our guest judges for bringing a touch of class to the proceedings- Mike Mcfarland, Troy Baker, and Nana Lee.

Thanks a lot, I'm grinning like a fool here Really was the perfect end to a brilliant weekend!
I'd like to congratulate my fellow winners, and everyone who entered, it takes a lot of guts to go up on that stage and we all deserved every cheer/clap/scream that we got!

And thankyou to everyone involved with running the masquerade, helping out, generally caring. Made things so much easier to have people on hand to assist with problems. You did an amazing job <3
