Here is a summary of the FAQ:
How do I sign up?Please email (not forum PM) me at richard at openhappy.com. The information I need is:
- Your name (real or coplay name that I can address you) and email.
- A working cell phone number on the day of the con. (I want to know if you are coming or not. If not, we want to spend some more time in the dealer room :) or give the slot to someone else.) Please email / call / SMS richard if you cannot show up on that day. I could either give the slot to someone else or just go to the dealer room / artist alley instead of waiting around.
- Your custome (character + series)
- How many people does your group have?
- Time slot you prefer
- Link to your profile at cosplay.com, cosplaylab or anywhere else. If you have no profile, please send me a sample photo of your cosplay.
- Any special preference I have to watch out.
Note:
- I don't use forum PM for this so I don't need to go to two different systems to get all the info.
- And yes, if you have spam from me, please let me know. We have a case of people using my address for spam.
- No working email / phone number, no photoshoot. Since from experience that the chance of you showing up is kind of low without any valid information.
- I will post the schedule after a few weeks. Email me to reserve a spot now!
ReleaseThere is no release form to sign. Watermarked pictures will be posted in openhappy.com and you can also have the original version for download if necessary. Feel free to bring a friend or friends to photoshoot with us if you feel safer that way. Parents are also welcome to take part in the photoshoots. (So, yes, we have moms that watch the cosplayers or shoot with them).
Do people look at my photos on your site? Yes. We usually have some 100,000 visits in the three months period we covered Fanime and AX. I usually take a break and spend some time with my
toys (http://www.openhappy.com/hobby/main/index.php), figures (http://www.openhappy.com/figures/main/index.php), gundam (http://www.openhappy.com/gundam/main/index.php) or travel (http://www.openhappy.com/features/main/index.php) towards the end of the year..
It is Free. How do I say thank you? You can say "thank you" by
a. Linking www.openhappy.com up with one of these banners from your web site.

To answer some questions I have. Yes! I consider both Lolita and Maid are cosplay ... your character don't need to be in an anime.
