In addition to the all-star line-up of talent scheduled at this year’s 12th Baltimore Comic-Con, the show will host their third annual costume contest … back by HUGE demand! This year, the event will be held Saturday and it will be larger than ever!
“After a second year of an outstanding costume contest, where we literally had to break down walls to meet demand – we are thrilled to bring it back in 2011,” said Marc Nathan, Baltimore Comic-Con promoter, “and we were totally caught off-guard when hundreds entered last year. For the second straight year, the contestants and audience overflowed the planned contest room.” He went on to add, “This year, we are planning for it to grow again. We are taking it up a notch this year by getting an even larger space!”
