PHOTOS. Amanda Wakaruk and Olav Rokne have uploaded their Masquerade photos to the Worldcon Flickr page: Masquerade 2024 | Flickr.

Olav says: “There were 30 contestants and we managed to get photos of all of them, which was no small task. Due to the set-up of the green room and Masquerade venue, all the posed photographs had to be completed between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., so we had to average one contestant every three minutes, and managed it. (By comparison, it took us more than three hours to get through every masquerade entry at the convention in Washington D.C.)”
