The first category was the under 12 group and all the kids received a prize, which I thought was a really great idea.

The three judges each gave their individual awards. First was the Dual Monsters girls.

Below, Redneck Ryoga and the Pikachu bunch get their special judge's prize.

Next Steve gets up and presents his special award. Over the years, I've seen Steve give out many special awards and I think he always makes a good call. This year was no different. These girls really did a great job with their costumes.

Next up is Asuka Langly Soryu for best walk on. I didn't get a good individual shot of her this time, but you can see a much better photo of her from my MegaCon page.

Below, the FF7 group gets the best skit award.

Pudding from Tokyo Mew Mew received the best costume award. I'm really glad she got her due. This dear girl stayed perfectly in character the entire day, that tray never left her hand.

Below, the Paper got the best "Playing to the Crowd" award. This was another one that I thought was perfectly deserved.

And finally, Radical Edward gets the best overall prize. Once again, I thought the judges were spot on. Great work, guys!!

And with this award, that pretty much brought the day to a close for us, and we headed back home once again.
