Contest Policy

As fun as it is to be wild and free, we still have to follow the rules. The following apply to all contests and contestants:

  • All contestants must be registered attendees of SwampCon and possess a SwampCon Convention Badge.
  • It is up to the contestant to state any possible conflicts of interest they may have. Such conflicts will be evaluated by the Contest Chair, and appropriate action will be taken at the discretion of the Contest Chair and SwampCon staff.
  • All awards are final with the exception of those who are found to have been in violation of the rules.
  • All contestants are expected to follow SwampCon policies and codes of conduct. This includes not engaging in Harassment of judges / staff / other contestants, poor sportsmanship, misrepresenting this contest, or otherwise spreading misinformation.  These may result in disqualification and/or barring from future SwampCon contests.  Further action may be taken at the discretion of programming staff.
  • And remember, have fun!
