We'll continue to update our events for Isekai Anime Con 2025!
The Cosplay Contest has two categories: Performance & Craftmanship. Entries may choose to compete in one or both categories if they qualify. If they don't qualify or don't want to be part of the competition they may appear as an "Exhibition" entry.
There will be three winners per division (skill level) in each category and one overall "Best in Show". The Judges may also do honorable mentions but they will not include official awards or prizes (All awards presented are at the judges’ discretion).
If you are uncertain which division to sign up for feel free to reach out to our cosplay contest coordinator at Kame@isekaianimecon.com
Groups or individuals that are doing performance may request to be judged on Craftmanship as well, but no one can go on stage a second time to be judged separately for Craftmanship.
Winners will receive awards among other prizes!!
Cosplay Contest spots are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration opens on November 9, 2024 so mark your calendars!
