Concept Galaxy and Zenkaikon Want You!
Concept Galaxy is organizing an interactive production for Zenkaikon 2009, and will be auditioning cosplay talent from around the area to participate. Cosplayers who are selected for the production will receive free admission to Zenkaikon 2009, and have the chance to be a part of a brand new, unique event for Zenkaikon.
Audition Details
Date: August 15, 2009
Time: 12:00pm to 6:00pm
Location:
Bryn Mawr Room at the Radisson Valley Forge
1160 First Avenue

Requirements and Criteria
Those who plan to audition should come prepared with a minute-long "in-character" monologue as the character they wish to play. Stephanie Chateau from Concept Galaxy will be hosting the auditions, and will be looking for cosplayers that fit into the categories listed below.
Naughty, Wicked, and V.I.L.E. Villains
Concept Galaxy is looking for talented cosplayers to portray their favorite anime or video game villain. Those who are chosen to participate in the production will act out the part of delinquents plotting to commit a heinous crime at Zenkaikon 2009.
Good Guys, Champions of Justice, and A.C.M.E. Agents
Concept Galaxy is looking for talented cosplayers to portray characters that fight for the ideals of truth and justice. Those who are chosen to participate in the production play the part of heroes attempting to stop the villains from succeeding in their plot.
Zenkaikon Host Announcer
Concept Galaxy is looking for talented cosplayers who enjoy making their own original costume designs. They are seeking a host or hostess to represent Zenkaikon and serve as its "announcer" for events that will happen throughout the weekend. The character should compliment "Zenkai-chan" – the official Zenkaikon mascot who appears on all of the convention's promotional material. The mascot theme for Zenkaikon 2009 is steampunk.
Time Commitment
Cosplayers who are selected will likely part in two scheduled activities at the beginning and end of the convention, as well as be a part of the production throughout the day on Saturday. While the interactive event takes place all day on Saturday, cosplayers will be given scheduled breaks to take part in other Zenkaikon activities, eat, and spend time with friends. Concept Galaxy will work to the best of its ability to schedule these breaks to coincide with events the cosplayer wishes to attend.
