Cosplay Policy
- Tampa Bay Comic Convention is a family-friendly convention. Please use common sense, be considerate of other attendees, and be aware of your surroundings.
- Cover your body parts. “No costume” is not a costume. “Paint” and/or “Pasties” are not a costume. The costume should be no smaller than a standard swimsuit. No intentional or unintentional “wardrobe malfunctions” are allowed. Please make sure your costume is sturdily constructed; this includes proper undergarments. Men are encouraged to wear dance belts under tight-fitting "superhero" Cosplays. You will be asked to cover up or change if your costume is deemed too revealing or offensive—no bare feet at the convention.
- Protective footwear is highly recommended but not required.
- All military, law enforcement, and other emergency service costumes should be easily distinguishable from official uniforms.
- Hate symbols, even historical hate symbols like swastikas, will not be tolerated at the Tampa Bay Comic Convention.
- No recreational wheeled items, including Rollerblades, roller skates, bicycles, tricycles, scooters, skateboards, and hoverboards, are allowed in the convention center.
- Stilts are allowed as long as you are wearing them.
- Please note that there are no signs offering services or making requests to be hugged or touched. We want everyone to feel comfortable.
- Always ask the Cosplayer before taking a picture of them.
- Service animals are allowed, assuming they are wearing the proper identification and you pick them up after them. Emotional Support animals are not allowed at this time.
- There will be a cosplay “first aid” location on-site. Please do not bring items such as hot glue guns, scissors, needles, thread, etc., as any costuming issues will be able to be resolved by professionals.
Tampa Bay Comic Convention 2025 is August 1-3, 2025, at The Tampa Bay Convention Center
