SoonerCon Costume Information

Hall Costumes

In the parlance of science fiction conventions, there are two kinds of costumes - those worn for competition, and those worn around the convention for the fun of it. The latter are called collectively, "Hall Costumes".

Please keep common sense operating when wearing your Hall Costume. Hall Costumes must conform to Convention policies. An escort is recommended if the costume impedes vision and mobility. If carrying a weapon please be sure to read all weapons policies.
