    Character - Professionals/Students

    Entrants are required to design and make-up a character inspired by the tv show House of The Dragon. This is your chance to bring to life your new creation – not a copy of an existing character from the show. Our Character category takes you on a trip to the world of Targaryen. We accept character makeups of all shapes and sizes – prosthetics or out-of-the-kit creations. Your design must be a physical makeup and the work of your own hands. You can work on a model or on yourself, whichever you wish. Only professional paint, make-up products, adhesives and removers may be used. Competition Timings: 10:00 - 12:30
