MomoCon

Year Round Events


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!!

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.
