Survival Guide: Rules & Etiquette
Streamer Prom operates under a strict code of conduct, humorously referred to as "The Dean's Rules." Security is tighter than ever following previous years' "sneak-in" attempts.
Dress Code Check
Ensure your outfit meets the "Formal" criteria. Suits, gowns, or themed "Streamer Formal" (e.g., LED-integrated dresses) are acceptable. Hoodies and sneakers are strictly denied at the door.
Digital Validation
Have your QR code ready on your phone. Screenshots are accepted, but dimmed screens can cause delays at the scanner.
Security Screening
Prepare for a bag check. "Campus Safety" will be screening for prohibited items (outside alcohol, professional cameras without a press pass, and laser pointers).
Networking Mode
Once inside, silence your stream notifications. The goal is to socialize IRL. Keep your phone in your pocket unless taking photos with creators.
Disruptive behavior, "sneaking in" without a ticket, or harassing staff will result in immediate ejection. The Dean (Event Security) is watching.
| Rule Category | Allowed | Prohibited |
|---|---|---|
| Attire | Suits, Gowns, Cosplay Formal | Streetwear, Gym clothes |
| Photography | Smartphone cameras | DSLRs (without pass), Drones |
