Year Round Events

MomoCon is about more than just the yearly convention every May. Since 2006, MomoCon on Tour has been traveling all over the Southeast hosting photoshoots, dances, art events, game days, tournaments and more! MomoCon on Tour is a great way to experience tiny pieces of MomoCon, some of which may not be able to do at the convention due to logistics and manpower. Some of the events we host are themed (like the Middle Georgia Massacre), and some raise money for various charities (like the Pretty in Pink Ball). MomoCon On Tour lets you continue enjoying MomoCon events throughout the year!

Coming up soon!

Photoshoots

MomoCon hosts on-location photoshoots to show off your costumes. Photographers and models will have the opportunity to take the photos they want in the good company of their fellow cosplayers without the crowds and hardships of trying to make a cosplay last through a convention day.

Volunteer photographers are on site to capture cosplayers in their glory against a variety of backgrounds. Some photoshoot events may include foliage, water features, and rustic structures, while others might be more modern, beachy, or even spooky. Join with your friends for a day of lasting memory and FUN!!

PHOTOSHOOT TIPS

Generally, photoshoot rules will follow the same guidelines set forth in our Convention Policies , however occasionally, the venue or area for the photoshoot will have more specific rules. Please check the individual event page on Facebook for more details.

Etiquette for Cosplay Photographers
-Ask for permission.
-Respect the cosplayer and other Photographers.
-Remind the cosplayer that the photos might be made public.

Etiquette for Cosplayers
– Know when to say “NO”, don’t ever do anything that your uncomfortable with.
– Know your physical limitations, don’t strain yourself posing.
– Don’t attack, slander and/or quarrel with other cosplayers.
– HAVE FUN!!

Dances

MomoCon is happy to present formal and semi-formal dance events, with previous partners including the Georgia Aquarium, Dragon Con, and various charity organizations! We have hosted more than a dozen dance/formal ball events, typically once a year, over the past 10 years.

DRESS CODE

Most MomoCon dances have a dress code that is Semi-Formal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-formal), generally meaning button-down shirt and tie or suit for men and long or short dress for women (or vice versa in the case of crossplay). Costumes ARE allowed, so long as they are semi-formal. Formal dress is also allowed at Semi-Formal events.

Acceptable alternatives include:
-Formal military wear (or costumes of formal military wear)
-Full kimono, properly worn
-Cocktail dresses

Should anyone dislike dresses and prefer men’s wear, they may refer to the gentlemen’s dress code for appropriate attire. Should anyone dislike menswear and prefer dresses, they may refer to the ladies’ dress code for appropriate attire. At no point is satire or comedic intent via inappropriate dress allowed.

Please refrain from wearing the following:
-T-Shirts, Jeans, and Shorts
-Tennis Shoes and Flip Flops
-Trench coats or other outerwear
-Wings, Jetpacks, or other large accessories

Weapons of any kind, real or prop, will not be permitted.

Occasionally, we will host a dance with a Formal dress code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_wear). The details of the event will clearly list whether the dress code is Semi-Formal or Formal for every dance.

PREVIOUS DANCES

Previous dance themes include Pretty in Pink, Winter Wonderland, Soda Pop Dance, Crystal Ball at the Georgia Aquarium, Winter Formal, Twilight Masquerade, Cosmic Ball, Black & White Ball, and more! To see photos of past dances, visit the MomoCon Flickr and look for the album for the specific event.

Gaming Events

We at MomoCon on Tour host tournaments and analog game days throughout the year! Stay tuned for information on upcoming game days.

MomoCon Game Days are open to all, almost always free to attend, and in conjunction with local stores and venues that are awesome for open play throughout the year, not just on a game day!

PREVIOUS GAMING EVENTS

Previous locations include Wastelands and Anime-zing Escape game shops, Giga-Bites and Cool Hands cafes, and other event spaces at Georgia Tech and the Riverside EpiCenter near Six Flags. While Tabletop Game Days are the most frequent type of gaming events, we have hosted video game tournaments, Esports events, and retro gaming events covering a variety of titles and genres.

Other Events

In addition to the standard events, we at MomoCon like to tantalize you with a plethora of assorted offerings and alternative events that you might not see anywhere else. MomoCon volunteer Photographers will be on hand for most of these events to take photos of participants attending and cosplaying at the event. Photos will be available online after the event at no charge, via the MomoCon Flickr.

We are always looking for new and innovative events, including (but not limited to) art contests, screenings, karaoke, swap meets, workshops, and much more!
