"Clothes don’t make the hero, but they are a good start!"

All-Con is looking for a few good heroes. And villains too! Super-Hero Sunday is not just a costume contest, it’s a pageant for super-heroes and super-villains. We love the costumes but in this competition there is more at work. We want to know what makes you a great hero or villain, what your powers are, your strengths, you weaknesses, and what you do to promote truth and justice (or dishonor and injustice if you are a villain). Are you ready to join the ranks of the super-heroes? Do you have what it takes beyond just a really flashy costume? And what about the villains? What is a super-hero without a worthy adversary? Then you should compete in Super-Hero Sunday! All you need is a costume and a vision! To be a part of the show you just need to line up with the other contestants about 10 minutes before show time so everyone

will be ready before the audience arrives and the competition begins. Be in costume and in character! You will be asked an array of questions about your qualifications as a hero or villain.

Established and well-known heroes from comics, movies, and television are welcome as are new and original creations the world has never seen before! Just like last year’s official emcee for Super-Hero Sunday, the Mighty Placeholder! He made his first appearance at All-Con 2010 doing what he does best, filling in for someone else. And this year the heroes and villains will be judged by a panel of their peers! That’s right! The United States of Geekdom have invited their personal favorite heroes and villains to act as judges in 2012.

The panel of judges will take your costume as well as your performance into consideration. Original characters, from the serious to the silly, are always encouraged, but equal credit will be given to the familiar ones. The competition is open to all ages with judging being split between two categories, Children (ages 10 and under) and Adult/Young Adult.

Trophies will be awarded as follows: Best Children’s Hero/Villian Best Super-Hero (Adult/Young Adult) Best Super-Villain (Adult/Young Adult) ...and the grand prize! Best of Super-Hero Sunday (both categories are eligible to win)
