Participate in our FANTASTIC Cosplay contest!

Let loose with your inner self and join the fun on stage channeling your favorite character for a chance to win some ComicCon bucks and bragging rights. 

We hear people are still talking about last year's contest with the lighting and pounding sound system to help set the mood for fun.  Same thing this year...only better!

Three divisions -  Kid / Adult / Original Handmade

Kid division - Must be 12 years of age or younger.  Original or commercial costume.

Adult division - Must be 13 years of age or older.  Original or commercial costume.

Original Handmade - Any age but costume MUST be 80% original construction.  No commercial costumes. 

You must register for the contest this year. 

We're taking the popular video game and supercharging it beyond belief.  Here's a chance to bust a move in front of the game as it's projected onto a 55 foot diagonal screen complete with chest thumping sound!  Talk about immersive! This is the first time in Southern Illinois such an experience is being offered, and it's coming to SI ComicCon.

The Just Dance Experience tournament will be open to all ages.  There will only be 48 entry slots.  The price to enter the tournament is $5.00 per person.  Tournament will begin at 12PM (noon).  Who will be crowned 'the best'?   

Smash Bros. Tournament


For those better with their fingers rather than their feet plan on entering our Smash Brothers Tournament on the Switch.  This will be held in the 'Bat Cave' on the west side of the main parking lot.

There will be two divisions of the tournament.  Division I is open to ages 12 years and under and scheduled to get underway at 10:30 AM.  Division II is open to ages 13 years and up and scheduled to get underway to 1PM.  Entry fee for both divisions is $5.00. There will only be 16 entry slots in each division.
