Dress Code Policy

OMG!con is a family-friendly event!

All attendees must adhere to the following dress code policy at all times during the convention:

Clothing
Attendees MUST wear clothes.
Absolutely no nudity is allowed.
All costumes must be properly secured & ensured they are not prone to “indecent accidents”.

Remember the Pool Rule:
Clothing should provide coverage similar to what’s expected at a public pool, such as a two-piece swimsuit or swim trunks.

The upper chest must remain covered at all times, regardless of gender.

Messages/words printed on shirts, bodies, or signs are permitted, but they must stay tasteful. Clothing with distasteful messages/words are forbidden.
‍
Shirts, clothing, costumes, or signs promoting pedophilia are strictly prohibited!

Short skirts, kilts, etc. must be accompanied by proper underwear.

Dance Belts are required for skin-tight suits.

Ineffective underwear (or a lack thereof) constitutes as indecent exposure.
Offenders may be turned over to law enforcement.

Footwear
To ensure your safety, we ask that you wear footwear at all times. Sandals/flipflops at the bare minimum, even if your character is barefoot.

Wearing skates and rollerblades are prohibited.
(You may bring them, but not use them inside.)
Sneaker-skates may only be worn in sneaker-mode.

OMG!con cannot be held accountable for any damages or injuries that occur due to
inadequate or improper footwear!

Large Costumes
Please be sure to keep all large costumes contained as much as possible. We recommend the use of handlers to help manage your costume if it is a large costume.

Large costumes (or large parts of costumes) are not allowed inside the Exhibitor's Hall due to blocking the flow of traffic and other hazards.

3-Foot Rule‍
Your cosplay can not extend past 3 feet from your body. Imagine a three-foot radius around your body; if a part of your cosplay extends past 3 feet, please do not bring it into the hallways.

Dragging Articles
‍Keep your cosplay maintained at all times. If your wig or outfit drags on the floor at anytime, it is not allowed, as this poses a biohazard threat.
