Rules:

Costume-Cons have the freedom to add special contests to the traditional events. This year it was decided that a hat competition would be added, with the theme of “A Day at the Races” in the tradition on Ascot (Great Britain) and the Kentucky Derby (USA). There were no restrictions on creativity and and as you will see below, people rose to the challenge.

Hat Competition at Costume-Con 29

As the Ascot in Great Britain and the Kentucky Derby, here in the United States, are always the first big social events of the spring season, Costume-Con 29 also celebrates spring by hosting “A Day at the Races” competition.

So start working on your best chapeaus!

We will be giving out awards for the best ladies’ hat, best men’s Topper, best recreation from My Fair Lady, and most outrageous.
