The raffles and contests kick off around 4:30pm so be sure to be around for costume contests, a raffle to win tickets to OryCon and the Kumoricon Chair's own best costume of the night award!

What do you mean, you didn't know there were prizes to be won? Well then! Here's all you need to know!

GameStorm and Kumoricon are hosting a joint cosplay contest with special guests including the chairs of both conventions! There are all kinds of prizes to be won for spooky costumes and cute costumes and so much more! Remember that this is different from a cosplay contest! We are looking for heart and creativity so come with your best ideas and prepare to scare the competition with your fabulous costumes!

As you know, Kumoricon's Manga Library is always looking for more volumes and needs your help to make that happen! So we are working with our friends at OryCon—the science fiction convention that rocks Portland November 12th-14th, 2010—to bring you a chance to win an amazing prize for your manga. Everyone who comes to the GameDay/MiniCon and signs up at our raffle table will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win a 2-ticket and 2-night-stay package for OryCon next month. That means you and a friend can go to the convention and stay at the hotel for free!* Want a better shot at winning the prize? Donate volumes of manga to the Kumoricon Manga Library and get more raffle tickets. The more manga you bring, the better your chance of winning! You must be 18 or older to win or have a parent or guardian represent you in the raffle.

And the Costume Contest wouldn't be complete until Beau, our esteemed Chair of Kumoricon, gave his top prize for the event, Beau's Costume Choice award! The winner of this contest will recieve tickets to the best party on Saturday night! Our friends The Slants are joining up with the Boom Boom Satellites for a Halloween concert that will certainly send chills down your spine. Join Portland's favorite Asian-American band as they conjure up some great music and drive their fans crazy! The show starts at 8:00pm at the Roseland Theater, but the winner of Beau's Costume Choice will recieve two (2) tickets to the concert.

There is tons of other fun to be had with all your friends from the convention, meet-ups and the forums so don't forget to head up to the 'Couve for more fun than your mortal bodies can handle! Start your Halloween with us and get the weekend of to a horrific start… this Halloween will be one to remember!

For more information, check out the forum thread or visit GameStorm's web site.

*Raffle prize includes 2 passes into the convention and 2 nights room charge and tax at the Doubletree Hotel Portland, where OryCon is held.
