Masquerade Judge
We welcome new and veteran people to apply annually for the role of Masquerade Judge.
We welcome you to apply if you are interested in judging for next year!
We have a panel of 3 or 4 judges for Costume Craftsmanship and Performance.
Our Masquerade Judges are FanimeCon staff, not Guests of Honor, with the perks and responsibilities associated with staffing. Our judges are volunteers who love cosplay and want to help make the Masquerade a fair event and share their knowledge with novice and experienced cosplayers.
FanimeCon judges generally have years of related experience in the following disciplines:
• Costume construction and/or design.
• Dance, choreography, or performance (concerts, plays, variety shows, etc.).
• One or more of the following: 3D printing, urethane resin, fiberglass,
foam-latex appliances, leatherworking, machining, vacuum-forming,
and/or related processes.
We would like to know more about your experience. Have you ever judged before? What cons have you participated in? Have you won any prizes? We would also love to see images of costumes or props you have designed or examples of shows you have led.
We would like to speak to the top candidates on the phone or Discord so that we can see if you will work well with the team we already have in place.
You must commit to being an impartial judge if you accept the position and the award winners will be voted for in a democratic process by the judges with support from the Masquerade head.
You are barred from participating in the FanimeCon Masquerade Competition (for the year you are a judge) if you accept the position.
You will need to commit to the schedule below. We provide breaks and reasonable hours so you will have time to enjoy the convention.
• Friday (Day 1): 3pm - 6pm
• Saturday (Day 2): 10am - 1pm, [Break from 1pm - 3pm], 3pm - 6pm
• Sunday (Day 3): 10am - 12pm, [Break from 12pm - 5pm], 5pm - 10pm
After the Masquerade you will meet for final decisions during a 30-minute judging break, and then the panel will need to be on stage to present the awards. The judge/judges will need to make a brief statement about each prize winner. As representatives of FanimeCon, and respected judges, we request that you dress appropriately for this important event, preferably in cosplay (but this is not required).
We would be happy to welcome you to the team!

Question Writer
Are you one of those people that has the perfect fact for a situation? Are you good at writing and research? Do you follow all the latest anime streaming services? Are you a fan of Elden Ring lore? Do you know your Disney trivia?
If so, we're looking for you.
The Game Show staff writes hundreds of trivia questions for our show, but we could always use more people who know their anime. If this is you, contact us directly at gameshow@fanime.com (or apply through this form)

ConOps Desk Staff
ConOps is the go to place for attendees or staffers to bring any issues they may be having during FanimeCon. We work with other staff to find answers and solutions, big or small.
Desk staffing is entry level, no previous experience required and you will always have a lead or head there to take on the harder, more sensitive situations that come up. As the first face of ConOps people may interact with to ask for assistance, some customer services skills and a friendly and helpful attitude will take you far at Desk.
Our shift expectation is likely to be about 4-6 hours total split across each day.
