Costume & Mask Contest

The Masquerade Ball on the 26th of May 2007 was a success. Everyone was dress up, enjoyed homemade food and danced to romantic and traditional music.

Of course, the main point of a Masquerade Ball was to be in costume and astonish friends and strangers alike. Mask was a must.

At 6pm was the Costume/Mask contest, where everyone is asked to vote on a King and Queen of The Ball (best couple costume), a Prince (best male costume), and a Princess (best female costume).

To the end of the Ball everyone enjoyed the photo slide show featuring the photos of the guests.
