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!!

Photographers – ***IMPORTANT NOTE**** Fill this form out if you intend to bring a larger camera to Atlantic Station for Cosplayers on Ice by MomoCon so that we can get you on the list for an approved photography pass. Atlantic Station has very strict rules about photography on the grounds, so we want to make sure you don’t have any hassle! https://forms.gle/GMe5Hm3XZCUAZjUU6


You’ll pick these up from the MomoCon station near the ice rink on the date of the respective events.

Why can’t this event be at a different location/indoor rink?
We try to vary locations in different areas, locations, amenities, etc. to try to help accommodate everyone. Generally we attempt to pick locations that have interesting scenery, decorations, or other activities, as hundreds of cosplayers do not only skate, but come to get holiday photos. If you have suggestions, we are happy to take them and do what we can in the future, but note that some rinks have specific requirements or limitations that do not work well for this event.

*MomoCon is hosting the photoshoot, but the rink itself is available to any attendee wishing to pay the fee. Skating is at your own risk, and MomoCon will not be hosting any rentals or take responsibility for people or events on the ice rink.*

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.

Etiquette for Cosplayers
– Know when to say “NO”, don’t ever do anything that your uncomfortable with.
