The Great GeekFest is a celebration of all the things people geek out over, sharing what they’re geeky for in the home of all geekdoms – the Library.
This year, the Great GeekFest transforms into Great GeekWeek, an entire week of fandom-filled virtual gatherings. Cosplay, gaming, movie buffs and casual fans will all find something to pique their interest. Events are always FREE and all ages are welcome to attend.
The Great GeekFest Cosplay Contest is an event in which participants of all ages can show off their best original cosplay with a chance to win fantastic prizes. This year we will be accepting virtual entries, via the form below.
A couple rules before you submit your costume:
The deadline for submission is midnight/12 AM on Wednesday, October 14. Winner will be announced via Facebook livestream on Sunday, October 18.

As part of Geek Week, join Library Guy, Luke for a virtual watch party and movie riff!
Tune in to the Delaware County District Library’s YouTube page on Wednesday, October 13th at 7 p.m. for a virtual watch party with riffing by Library Guy and resident movie geek, Luke and a special guest riffer. We’ll riff on the Roger Corman classic Bucket of Blood.* Though this bad/scary movie wasn’t giving an official rating, we’d give it a PG13-lite. Not all scenes will be appropriate for younger audiences.
Our vendors this year are part of their own virtual vendor hall, but that doesn’t mean you can’t see what they’ve got in their shops.
