ConCoction 2023 welcomes Mogchelle!

We are pleased to announce the return of Mogchelle to ConCoction as a cosplay guest and contest emcee!

Mogchelle started in cosplay by just being an average geek attending an anime convention in 1999. Her love for the artwork in anime, video games, and comic books made her want to bring the 2D images from the pages and screen to real life. She’s also been featured in several national and international magazines, and several online entertainment news sources for her costuming, and has done work for The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

Over the years she has won countless awards internationally for both craftsmanship and performance on the masters level. She also had the honor of being in the original Project Ebon Blade group by Zach Fisher during Blizzcon, which was a huge undertaking of talent from across the globe to bring Zach’s art to life!

Mogchelle is a proud alumni of The University of Hot Glue and Duct Tape! Every year, she chooses a charity organization to help raise funds for by donating a portion of the profits of her craft and 100% print sales!

Learn more on our website, and of course catch her in cosplay at ConCoction 2023!

The Staff and Volunteers at Cleveland ConCoction are still taking COVID-19 seriously.  However, we also realize that the pandemic is slowly inching closer to being an endemic, and we cannot stay inside forever.  We believe in the science and the effectiveness of vaccines and masking as the best way to curb the spread of COVID-19.  In those lines Cleveland ConCoction 2023 will be a masked event. 
​There are only two situations in which participants will be allowed to be unmasked:  If you are actively consuming food or beverage; or, if you are fully vaccinated and are willing to show proof of that at registration.  (We define fully vaccinated as having received at least two doses of an approved vaccine completed at least two weeks before the con.  Acceptable proof will be a vaccination card, or picture of, or a link on your phone to a medical record).  Anyone who provides proof of vaccination at registration will receive a wristband which must be worn during the convention.

Anyone found in violation of this policy will be given a verbal warning on first offense.  A second violation will result in removal from the convention for the remainder of the weekend with no refund or recourse.

Individual presenters in programming or gamemasters in gaming or artists/authors/vendors in their respective areas all have the option of requiring masks with no exceptions if they so choose.
 
*This Policy is up for consistent review and may change as the local COVID-19 rates change.*
