Costume Wars is Back! Costume Wars is a timed event in which teams of two are provided with a sack of unknown and somewhat random materials. Teams are then expected to make something wonderful out of them in just one hour. Each team will consist of two persons with an optional third, non- participating person to act as a model/dressmaker’s dummy only. The third person cannot help build the costume but can and should be dressed in the newly created attire and expected to show it off. A third is not required and if no third person is present one or both of the two builders will need to wear the creation.
