Contests and Shows
The Land of Madmen is currently proud to host two contests - our Cosplay Contest and the Art Show.
Spontaneous Social Contests
Followers of our Facebook Page and Group will receive exclusive notification of promotional contests as and when they occur. These contests can have prizes ranging from free passes to goodies from sponsors, whilst being serious or flippant - but always designed to be fun!
Cos-contest
Legend and Myth Convention runs a cosplay/costume contest, with a parade at the conclusion of the day, after which prizes will be awarded. Prize categories are as follows:
Wheel of Time Cosplay/Costume - Accuracy
This prize will be awarded on how close the cosplay or costume is executed to the original description.
Wheel of Time Cosplay/Costume - Imagination
Sometimes the best ideas follow the spirit of the description rather than the exact wording... and that's what this category covers.
Wheel of Time Cosplay/Costume - First Time Entrant
Recognizing the efforts of a first time entrant to the Legend and Myth cos-contest, this prize takes note of an artist whose work brings much excitement to possible future entrants.
Other Fantasy Cosplay/Costume
Entrants to this category may wear outfits for any fantasy series, but can only be judged for this prize.
More questions? See our FAQ. When designing your costume or cosplay, please read our Convention Rules.

Art Show
In the world of fan art, an artist can express their love for the work by creating a visual representation of scenes, abstracts or characters that are inspired by the original story.
It's no surprise that the intricate plot brought to us in the form of RJ's Wheel of Time has had many artists bursting forth with fan art in infinite forms.
The Legend and Myth Convention typically also runs at least one craft workshop each year, with works displayed at the end of the day if desired. Attendees are also invited to bring along any Wheel of Time fan art which they feel comfortable displaying on the day (please notify Legend and Myth organisers if you plan on bringing pre-made work for display).
