This seems to get asked a lot so I'll be making it a sticky.

Here are instructions for adding yourself to a video:

Fanime 2008 kicks off tomorrow, and in a rare moment, both Wayne and I will be there to provide coverage! If you haven't added yourself to our convention list then, now's the time to do so: http://www.acparadise.com/acp/cons.php?cyid=564 http://www.acparadise.com/ace/cons.php?cyid=564 We'll also do ...

That's weird, are you logged in when you try to do it? The cosplayer list won't show up unless you sign in first.

It should look something like:

This Friday marks the start of Anime Central, and ACP/ACE will be on hand to do our usual coverage. If you haven't added yourself to the Convention on our page, do so now - you can also see who else is going! http://www.acparadise.com/acp/cons.php?cyid=339 http://www.acparadise.com/ace/cons.php?cyid...

With three conventions to cover this month, we'd be insane to have a contest this month - so instead, we'll just go ahead and announce June's Contest! http://www.acparadise.com/acp/contests.php http://www.acparadise.com/ace/contests.php This is a contest I've been waiting a long time to hold - becau...

Our contest sponsors have chosen the winners! Yes that's right, winners, as in more than one! Congratulations to RAYDANCE's video entry and KYOUKO_TAKARA! Raydance will receive the Rock Band set, and kyouko_takara will receive a limited edition Nana MP3 player from Toshiba! Thanks to everyone who pa...

Congratulations to the Winners of our Persona 3 Contest: 1st Place - Aigis 2nd Place - Yuffieleonheart (Main Character, Yukari, Akihiko, Shinjiro) I'll be contacting the winners and the random voters to mail out their prizes. Thanks again for participating everybody, it was definitely a great turnout!

You're not allowed to post costumes you commissioned for other people unless they're of you wearing them. The reason being that there's no way to verify that you actually made the outfit. (Alternatively, just get the person you made the costume for to sign up to the site and then they can credit you...

Just a reminder, our Persona 3 contest deadline is coming up! In just 5 days (APRIL 15) we'll put up the list of contestants, so if you haven't submitted your entry yet, DO IT. We also have another contest up - details will be up on the page later today! Lastly, we'll be covering Tekkoshocon this we...

We told everybody about this earlier:

viewtopic.php?t=7083

We are still deciding what to do about AC Plaza, but for now it is removed.

As promised, April 1st marks the arrival of American Cosplay Experience! To those of you thinking this was an April Fools joke, this is SERIOUS BIZNESS. Many thanks to our beta testers for helping me work out the kinks - as you can see, the site looks the same for the most part, but there have been ...

Anime Boston is done. Masquerade footage can be found: http://www.acparadise.com/cons.php?cyid=566&t=3 Photos, 669 Final Picture Count, here: http://www.acparadise.com/cons.php?cyid=566&t=4 Because I'll be busy doing photos and videos there, we're opening up the Persona 3 contest early - please visi...

Details can be found at our contest page: http://www.acparadise.com/contests.php One note about the special prize - I don't know if anyone's crazy enough to try, but if we get at least three entries of actual Personas (the ones you use in the game), we'll hold a special contest for best Persona, and...

We've teamed up with Atlus to hold a Persona 3 Contest! Being a P3 fanboy, I'm really excited to be able to get their support, especially when I saw what they would be offering as prizes! You can check out the rules and details at: http://www.acparadise.com/contests.php We actually won't be acceptin...

There have been a slew of changes going on with the site, and if you don't check Wayne's LJ, here's a recap: 1. ACE - American Cosplay Experience, our site dedicated to male cosplayers, is undergoing beta testing right now. It will launch April 1st, so be sure to spread the word! 2. With the introdu...

First off, my apologies for the server troubles this week - earlier I thought it was that we underestimated the amount of traffic we'd get after Katsu. Now, it's looking more like someone may have hijacked our mail system. I've turned off notifications again, and we're still looking into the issue, ...

You need a cosplayer page on ACP before you can link videos to it.

Oh, and you actually have to BE in the video, as in one of the performers ^_^;

And the results are in! But before that, an unexpected change in plans. Due to the recent events at ADV, we are unable to offer the prizes we originally stated on the page for Devil May Cry and Gurren Lagann. For Devil May Cry, we made some substitutions - 1st place will win Devil May Cry 4 Collecto...

At midnight EST tonight, we'll be announcing our winners for Tsubasa Chronicle and Devil May Cry - the character battles have actually been pretty fierce, so every vote counts!

Great news guys - Del Rey Manga, the publisher of the Tsubasa Chronicle Manga, was so impressed with our contest entries that they decided to chip in some more goodies in addition to the prizes already listed! For Best Overall Costume, the winner will receive Volumes 1 - 15 of the Tsubasa Chronicle ...

EDIT 1:00 AM EST - Sorry guys, there was a bug in the system with the Tsubasa Chronicle contest, so I had to clear out the votes. IF YOU VOTED BETWEEN 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM EAST COAST TIME, PLEASE GO BACK AND VOTE AGAIN. Voting for our Devil May Cry and Tsubasa Chronicle contests are now OPEN! Be sure ...

Can you direct me to a specific thread or post? I just put in something that might help, so I'd like to see if it worked.

Just a reminder, the deadlines for our Tsubasa Chronicle and Devil May Cry contests are in one week! Entries will be accepted until JANUARY 24TH, and then voting begins!

If you know anybody that's cosplayed from this series, either male OR female, let them know! This contest is open to everyone!

If you see that a con photo has the wrong series linked to it, please post the URL here, and the correct series if it isn't there already.

When we fix the problem, we'll delete your post, so that this thread doesn't become a million pages. Thanks for your help!

This is for identifying con photos in our galleries - if you see an anime, manga, or videogame series that needs to be added to our list so you can link it to a con photo, please post in this thread. If you were not able to find the series on our drop down list, be sure to try using our Quick Search...

If there is missing or incorrect information on one our videos, such as awards, series, or cosplayers involved, reply to this thread. You must give the following: 1. URL of video 2. What's wrong with it When we fix the problem, we'll delete your post, so that this thread doesn't become a million pag...

Ironically, I'll be away when ACP's birthday hits tomorrow, so if you see either of us on January 4 (1.4.08), be sure to wish ACP a Happy Anniversary! We always like to revamp ACP every year, improving on what we already have. As decided from a past poll, you wanted it, so you'll get it. So for 2008...

American Cosplay Paradise is proud to kick off 2008 with three cosplay contests: Devil May Cry, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Tsubasa Chronicle! Devil May Cry: After being a smash hit among gamers everywhere, the Devil May Cry anime is making its way to American shores courtesy of ADV Films. Dante...

First off, Happy Holidays from ACP - we hope that you are enjoying some time off, or at the least, with family and friends. I was going to hold off on announcing this until next year, but consider it an early present from us. We're proud to announce a contest for not one, not two, but three great se...

A little late, but congratulations to Asa for winning our School Rumble contest! I'll be announcing the randomly selected winners among the voters later this week.

And congratulations to our ACP members s0nified and Umister for being selected to represent the USA for the World Cosplay Summit!

Ok, the contest page is up, so go vote for your winners! Remember, 15 randomly selected voters will get free stuff, so go go go!

Entries for our School Rumble contest have now been extended to November 30th. I kinda forgot this week is Thanksgiving, so it'd be a bad time to ask for entries, with everybody getting stuffed to the gills with turkey/vegetarian equivalent. Remember, if you know any friends that have cosplayed from...

Ok, all photos and skits for Anime USA 2007 have been posted. It was a successful test of our new system for con photos, so expect similar treatment for all future conventions. And as I learn more about my camera, the picture quality should go up as well (or at least, less blurry pics). http://www.a...

Don't forget, we still have one contest at the end of this month, School Rumble! http://www.acparadise.com/contests.php I haven't received any entries yet, and Funimation sent me a buttload of stuff for prizes, so if you know anyone that has a costume, convince them to enter! At this point they're a...

Happy Halloween to everyone, we have some treats for the winners of our contests! For Fate/Stay Night, the entries were so evenly spread among the characters that I decided to throw in a third prize at the last minute so that each character gets its own award. Best Character: Saber = Kirae Best Char...

Animagic is this weekend, and ACP is not only covering it, we're emceeing the masquerade as well! Be sure to stop by and bug Wayne, although chances are he'll bug you first if you're not on ACP already. http://www.acparadise.com/cons.php?cyid=59 Also, I made some small changes to the contest page. T...

Details about the three contests can be found at our contest page: http://www.acparadise.com/contests.php Rules are the same as usual: 1. This contest is open to both MALES and FEMALES, and you must be a registered member of ACP. 2. Entries must be from either Hellsing, Fate/Stay Night, or School Ru...

October is a very special month for cosplayers, with Halloween - it's one of the few times in the year we can legitimately wear our costumes outside a convention or photoshoot! To celebrate, ACP is having not one, not two, but THREE contests! http://www.acparadise.com/contests.php Two of them are qu...

Just so that it doesn't get hidden by other updates this week, AWA 2007 Contest footage is up in both high and low-res versions: http://www.acparadise.com/cons.php?cyid=89&t=3 A fun time was had by all, and thanks to the cosplayers who stopped to say hi to me! Also, we've finally added a "main" page...

Between the new look of the cosplayer pages, covering Nan Desu Kon this past weekend and the redesign of our videos, it's been pretty busy here at ACP! And it doesn't stop either - Anime Weekend Atlanta kicks off tomorrow, and I'll be onhand to cover the madness! We're still working out some logisti...

Ok, bad joke for Labor Day, but it's true - Wayne hinted at some changes coming to ACP, and we're bringing them up just as a few conventions come to close this weekend! The cosplayer pages have been changed a bit, to make things look neater and organized. All comments will be viewable on the same pa...

Congratulations to Pocky Princess Darcy and Sana-chan for winning our Haruhi Suzumiya contest! Darcy was by a wide margin your favorite choice - 2nd place was a much more heated battle, with entries being tied up until the last hour. As usual, we'll be contacting the winners through email shortly to...

Just a reminder, today's the last day to vote for your favorite entry in our Haruhi Suzumiya contest. Remember that two copies of Haruhi Vol. 1 will be given randomly to two voters, so get your votes in before midnight tonight!

As the title says, voting is now open for our Haruhi contest! While I am saddened by the lack of Tsuruya goodness, we still have an even mix of characters presented. Vote for your favorite entry NOW until July 23 11:59 PM EST Remember, two voters will be selected randomly to win either a Volume 1 DV...

After today, we'll be putting our contestants for our Haruhi contest up, so get those entries in!

Like I mentioned earlier, we're trying to change the way notifications are sent out when cosplayers or series on your Favorites list are updated. Before, whenever a cosplayer on your Favorites list updates a costume, an email is immediately sent out. So if that cosplayer updates two different costum...
