The A&G in A&G Ohio stand for Animation and Gaming.  Both are topics that I feel fairly confident in saying, are well beloved by our group of fans and readers.  They are also two things that make for some great Cosplay opportunities.

As the Holiday Season hits its apex, we here at CosWatch wanted to give you a chance to win a very special present.  We have in our a possession a completely free, comped 3 DAY WEEKEND PASS to A&G Ohio which takes place March 12-14 in Cincinnati, OH.  Spend three days playing in great video game tournaments, cosplay as your favorite characters, and enjoy the company of some fine fans!

So how does one win such a great prize?  Quite simple really.  We want our readers and visitors to send in pictures of themselves in their best Gaming related costume.  This can be Video Games, Table Top Games, Role-Playing Games, Collectible Card Games, etc.  If it is related to a game of any time, and you can cosplay it, then please make the costume, take a picture and send it into us!  The best costume submission that we receive will win a free Weekend Pass to A&G Ohio, and get interviewed by CosWatch while at the show.

See, told you it was easy!  For the specific break down of rules though, look below and good luck to everyone out there!

PS – Yes that is me, Joey V, dress like Auron from Final Fantasy X from AUSA 2004.  It’s not great, but it was bad ass.  Gives you an idea of what we are looking for.  =)

RULES

1. Take a picture of you in a Gaming related costume.  Somewhere in the photo, there must be the source material that you used for the Cosplay.
   -  For Example, if you do a Solid Snake costume, please have Metal Gear Solid 4 on a TV in the background, or be holding the Metal Gear box cover art, etc.
2. Send 1-10 pictures (never enough angles or action shots) in jpeg, gif or png version of your Cosplay to info@coswatch.com
   - Please make sure to also tell us your NAME, LOCATION and EMAIL.  If you have a Twitter or Website, feel free to send those too so that we can promote your awesome work.  =)
3. Sit back, and wait to see if you won!
4. Contest ends February 1st, 2010.  That gives you one full month to finish your costume, and one full month to prepare for a great weekend in Ohio.

Good luck to everyone who enters and we can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!
