The winner of the People’s Choice Larp Award in each category will be the photo with the most likes at the time the public judging closes.

The 5 photos with the most “likes” at this time (no more than 1 per person per category) will form the shortlists for the Judges’ Choice awards.

Please check with the photographer/costume wearer before entering their photos.

The person entering the photo will be the winner, if you wish to appeal the ownership of any photo or who should win the prize then let us know.

There are no restrictions on where in the world the photo was taken or indeed the nationality of the photographer.

Submissions and “likes” decide the winners of the People’s Choice award and the shortlists for the Judges Choice award will be announced shortly afterwards.

By entering the competition you agree that we can print out a large copy of your image to be displayed at a future LarpCon, should your photo make it on to a shortlist.
