D23 Expo 2017 Mousequerade

A ghoulish delight or a Jedi knight, a princess fair or a Country Bear… Mousequerade returns to D23 Expo 2017, and D23 invites fans to design their own Disney-inspired costumes for this incomparable competition. Past contests have showcased unparalleled creativity and innovation, and this year the event will be held in the 3,600-seat Expo Arena at the Anaheim Convention Center, where dozens of finalists will strut their stuff for a panel of expert judges.

At this one-of-a-kind event, taking place Friday, July 14, 15 participants in each of the following five categories will dazzle the crowd with the original costume designs they have brought to life:

• Once Upon a Costume: Let the most beloved stories—from the lands of make believe and fantasy—inspire your transformation into a beloved Disney character.
• Worlds of Adventure: Ahoy, and may the force be with you! From buccaneers to galaxy royalty, these costumes rock the worlds of Disney adventure.
• Heroes & Villains: Good vs. Evil… Light Side vs. Dark Side… Superhero vs. Super villain… Bring these classic struggles to life with imagination and ingenuity. Solo contestants or duos are welcome to compete.
• Inspired by Disney: From attractions to animation, theme parks to cruise ships, architecture to live-action films, we challenge contestants to bring the unique creativity of Disney to life.
• Casts of Characters: Entire groups of Disney characters are brought to life with up to eight of your friends or family members playing their favorite parts.

The winners of each Mousequerade category will receive a trophy and the winner of Best in Show will receive $2,300 cash.
