Festivals Extra: Argument For Expanding Cosplay’s Role At Shows

Here. It's not something that applies to all shows -- I don't see this being a concern for SPX or Linework NW -- and I'm always confused when these things are changed from a strategy someone might pursue to an argument to be won on the Internet. Still, there are some details in there that are worth knowing if you follow the convention business.

I would imagine most people running a show with a cosplay element would prefer someone of value to a show be a guest of a show as opposed to a free agent and perhaps, say, charging for photos. I also have to believe this already happens with a few shows. Many of the shows are conceived of in broad enough fashion that paid costume people would seem way less of a stretch than people you're likely to see invited to shows if there are this many of them in 2021.
