How closely the costume resembles the source material and/or how well it interprets and reminds the judges of the design of the source material. Failure to provide these materials will result in a score of “0” under Fidelity (for lack of reference) and/or Execution (for lack of progress images) depending on what is missing. During judging, contestants will display their costumes to a panel of judges, best cosplay costumes where they will have a chance to inspect the costumes and props from a close distance.
