Category:Cosplay Department: Difference between revisions

The Cosplay department celebrates costume play and creative expression by providing resources and events for attendees to showcase their talent. We organize the annual Masquerade competition to give cosplayers a chance to perform and get recognition for their amazing work. Our Cosplay Repair Station enables last-minute fixes and adjustments so cosplayers can feel their best. Through gatherings, workshops, and panels, we foster friendship and knowledge-sharing around different fandoms and cosplay topics. We aim to make every cosplayer feel welcomed, supported, and excited to be part of the convention. Our goal is to promote cosplay as an artform, bring talented creators together, and make sure cosplayers have the best experience possible at our convention. We value creativity, community, fun, and helping cosplayers bring their passion to life.
