Land Run 2026 Costume Contest Info

Shotglass is pleased to announce the 2026 Land Run costume contest. We were thrilled by the participation last year and are honored to have the opportunity to sponsor the costuming awards again in 2026. We learned a few things and will add further improvements to our processes to smooth things out even more.

  • No pre-registration is needed, just show up.
  • We will start judging earlier and have our own private room at the museum.
  • Entries will be color coded to make knowing which judge panel to go to easier.
  • We have added a Military Lady category to the awards

If you are worried about having a story or a presentation about your outfit; this is NOT required. You are being judged on your outfit, not your “speech”. There are three ways the judges can learn about your outfit:

  • You can have a story that explains your outfit and accoutrements.
  • You can explain your outfit in a straightforward way.
  • The judges can simply ask you questions.
