This is your obligatory 1 year post about a very special event near and dear to my heart; Lip Sync Battle. Since 2017, participants have been rocking the stage with their glorious dance moves and lip sync abilities. It warms me to see this event coming back for yet another year. Hopefully with less egg and more power! (Cooking Mama and Gautama were amazing!)
If you're new to this event and am not really sure as to what to expect at this event, let me explain.
Imagine Death Match, but lip syncing and a lot less death. There will be 16 contestants/duets placed into a bracket system game. One participant will perform, do their thing, and get off stage. Then, the other participant will do the same. After the second participant has performed, the audience will choose who will move on to the next round by their cheers, screams, clams, you name it! (Except boos. Boos are cheers from ghosts) This will continue until there is one participant/duet left and they are rewarded the winner!
Keep in mind. This isn’t a legitimate competition. This event should be fun for everyone involved. So, whether you are accepted and are participating or an audience member, please have fun with it.
PLEASE NOTE THESE WHEN APPLYING:
- Apply with songs that make sense to your character
- Please apply with 6 songs. (we only need 4, but if one of the main 4 is taken this will help)
- Songs need to be appropriate. (This should be obvious, but please no swears of any kind and explicit content. There will be children in the audience.)
- MAKE SURE YOU APPLY WITH A PICTURE OF YOU IN THE COSPLAY
- If Duet or Special Duet, both people need to apply!
- NEW THIS YEAR Participants will be asked to provide their own files to songs, if AB Staff cannot get a hold of it.

- Let’s have fun!
