Categories
NOVICE | TROPHY
You’re fairly new to cosplay. This is a simple category that involves just a few poses. Your costume does not need to be fully hand made by you either.
JOURNEYMAN | TROPHY
This isn’t your first time to the rodeo. It’s not your first time at a cosplay contest, either! You’ve been around the block a few times, learned a few tricks, and upped your game. Time to show everyone what you’re made of! Your costume should by now be more technical and mostly done by yourself / handmade. In this category you can still pose but a short 40 sec – min is encouraged.
MASTER | TROPHY
The big leagues. You’ve won some. You’ve lost some. You’ve sweat, cried, and bled for your cosplays. They look masterful. They look glorious. And they need to be shown off to a convention of thousands. This is your time. In this category poses are still accepted however a skit of 1min – 1.30min is highly encouraged.
WIN IT. BEST IN SHOW | TROPHY
You have created a show and captivated the audience. You have an amazing costume and a great skit (1.30min – 3min). Show it off!
CRAFTSMANSHIP | TROPHY
Alright, we talked the fun stuff, but with all fun comes a little pain. A MINIMUM of 80% of the costume must be constructed by the contestant.
BEST MAKE UP | TROPHY
Face off! This is for all those who might have a more simplistic cosplay but they bet everything on their make up skills! It can also be a makeup that accentuates a beautiful costume too. The judges will vote based on the make up done, how expressive it is and how dramatic.
BEST PROP | TROPHY
This is not related to the whole costume but to a single item. A piece that you are super proud off. Show it off! The judges will check its functionality, the appearance and the drama it adds to the whole cosplay.
