First time entering the cosplay contest!

[Chocoboholic]

I've been working hard on my costume all year, and I finally decided I should enter the Cosplay contest as a walk on.  :?

Granted, I'm still very, very nervous. I've never entered before. Any advice? How does it work? What do I need to bring? How much proof of me making the cosutme myself do I need, if any at all?

What do I do if I am having a lot of trouble finding refrence pictures I can show to judges?

^^ Its going to be my first time as a walk on too! I'm so excited. But I've done some research, and I think I can help you!
In the rules it says that you have to have a reference picture to show the judges. That's all you need, as I understand it.
I'm going as Gunner Yuna. You?

Lucil, the Chocobo Knight captian in Ten.

I'll have two sets for her costume, the one in the contest will involve a very, very large Chocobo.

So, what kind of materials are you using?

Lots of polar fleece for the chocobo, and a fabric normally used for seat covers (Kind of a pleather fabric) for Luceil's leather outfit, However sadly I'm running into one heak of a problem with this costume at the moment, and am afraid it might not get done in time.

If all else fails, the chocobo -is- done at least, so not all is lost.
