Cosplay

To ensure safety, checks will be carried out at the entrance to the festival.

In order to guarantee safety, all dangerous objects are forbidden on the JapaNeuch Festival site:

• All real weapons (automatic, firearms, pistols, shotguns, replicas, weapon parts, etc.)
  Including antique weapons.
• Rigid objects longer than 1m50 ;
• Massive, heavy or very solid objects;
• Sprays of any kind, with the exception of spray lacquer, which is authorized if less than 100 ml.
• Cutlery (knives, daggers, katana, etc.)
• Any device designed to injure (truncheons, brass knuckles, slingshots, electroshock devices, etc.).

With regard to dummy weapons, any weapon that could be mistaken for a real firearm is strictly forbidden.

To be accepted, cosplay weapons must be made of light, non-injurious materials (hard materials are not accepted).
