The Mousequerade Costume Contest will bring some of the biggest Disney fans and costumers to a stage, where they will be judged on their costumes. This year’s event will even feature new categories, including “Off the Screen,” “Imagine That!,” “Magical Mashups,” and “Cast of Characters. “There will also be a fan-favorite award, as well as a “Best in Show” award of $2300.

This year’s judges panel will bring back Ashley Eckstein and Yvette Nicole Brown — this will be their third time as judges. They will be joined by first-time judge Ally Maki. Nina West will be the costume contest’s host.
