Cosplay Chess Application Form

Thank you very much for applying for Anime Los Angeles 2019’s Cosplay Chess event!  Each year we try our best to improve the event not only for the participants but for the viewers as well.  Before you continue, Please be aware that by applying for this event it does not guarantee your participation. In order to participate, you will have to give us some information on who you are, how you’d like to participate, and just who you may be showing up as! Character choice is very important to help us set up the teams for the event!

ALA Cosplay Chess has a few rules for people to apply. We request that you submit a contact number (preferably a cell phone), email, and that you subscribe to our cosplay.com threads so you can get the updates from the boards as well as from the event organizers too!  NOTE: Phone numbers will not be shared with anyone who is not a part of our event team or given out to the public or upon request to anyone.  The last rule that we have is that if you are signing up as a specific character yet your costume is not complete, please either make sure it’s complete (with pictures on your Cosplay.com account that we can look at) by the application deadline or consider a different character.  We ask this so we can avoid any last minute character/Cosplay changes as it can effect the set up of who is on what team.  Some may find these rules a bit off putting or harsh but we are placing them only with the events’, the participant’s, and most importantly, the audience’s best interests and experience.

If you are selected to participate you will receive an email to confirm that you have been selected to participate along with extra information for: Basic game-play, Meet-up times, Orientations, and Dropping. Please know that if you are accepted we do expect you to either attend or let us know that you cannot participate in a timely manner.
