(*_*)
PUBLICITY
This is the water mark of Acumen. The chance to glorify your Universe and the opportunity to let people
know what sets you apart. Think out of the box and showcase your thoughts.
Create, innovate, and illustrate.
For the first time in Literary Society, we introduce the concept of Cosplay.
Cosplay (Costume + Play) is dressing up in a costume as a specific character. Historically this term was used
to describe dressing up as an Anime (Japanese Animation) character but it has now crept up in western and
now, even the Indian comic industry. In a nutshell, it means dressing up as someone from a book,
videogame, television show, or comic.
Lot of people confuse Cosplay with Fancy Dress and think that its only for kids, but in reality, its simply a
love for comics and your favourite characters, that is expressed in the form of a tribute by dressing up as
them and it makes absolutely no difference what your age is.
Generally most Cosplayers prefer to build their own costumes. The culture is still new and nascent in India,
and there arent any specialty shops for costumes and accessories.
There are dozens of websites which provide detailed help on making your costume, right from reusing
existing material, to sewing it from scratch, modifying props to fit your choice of character and other helpful
tips. YouTube is also a great medium to get tons of free help on how to build a costume.
We will generally prefer someone who has worked hard to make something on his/her own, instead of just
buying one.
COSPLAY RULES & REGULATIONS

- You are required to choose any character from your own Universe.
- No actual arms and ammunition will be allowed. You can carry plastic or cardboard weapons (Preferably
cardboard or papier-mch).
- Before events begin on the first and the last day each participant will get upto 5 minutes on the stage from
5:00 pm to 5:30 PM beside the auditorium if they wish to pose or act as the character. It will help you gather
points from the judges if you can impress them with a little bit of acting as your favourite character.
- Cosplay is encouraged as a publicity tool for all 4 days.
-The Cosplayers will be judged on the following criteria:
Costume: The closeness to the look and feel of the real character being portrayed. (50 points)
Props: Use of props is recommended.
Performance (if any):
- Coming in as a group is also allowed and encouraged.

-Days of Cosplay
Rules
There should not be any vulgarity involved. No comments should be directed at people.
Publicity shall be counted starting from 1st April but major points shall be awarded for the publicity
during Acumen.
You cannot tamper/deface/discredit the publicity material of any team. This will result in heavy
penalty and/or disqualification.
Whatever publicity you do should be notified to us by taking snapshots and mailing it to us on daily
basis at- thapar.litsoc@gmail.com. The mails subject should be Team Name Content Name. Soft
copies of each and every flex, poster, and notice should also be mailed to us. In case your material is
heavier, get it to us in a pen drive on a daily basis.
In case of any directly negative publicity, or vulgarity, the team found guilty shall be immediately
disqualified from the publicity event, i.e. Zero credits shall be awarded.
SPECIAL POWERS
Friends and foes will clash, powers considered super will be left in ashes. For this battle of the Universes we
offer you a special power. This power will be given to one member from each team who you shall choose
before the Informals.
Depending on the rankings of the universes as per the result of the Informals, the following special powers
will be up for grabs:
Magneto: Your chosen one can steal 2 credits from an opponent team in any event he/she
participates. This power is not valid if the team wins the event and in events having greater than 8
credits.
Alfred: Your chosen one can bring one additional member to a quizzing event of his/her choice.
Spidey Sense: Your chosen one will be given a choice of stance in any one debate he/she
participates in.
Adamantium: Your chosen one cannot come last in an event he chooses to exercise this power. Not
valid in events having greater than 8 credits.
Note: All of the above powers can be exercised at the discretion of the (chosen one) only and in events in
which the (chosen one) participates!
PS: Be prepared for unexpected twists and surprises! You are advised to keep your eyes and ears open
throughout the events. You never know what may get you points!!
All the very best! Let the clash of the Universes begin!
