Cosplay Contest 2023
The Cosplay Contest belongs to our conventions as well as the Cosplayer. For many cosplayers and guests, as well as for the fair, it is one of the crowning highlights. For months cosplayers prepare themselves for the spectacle. They work day and night on their costumes, sometimes they even do the last steps until shortly before the contest, to present it minutes later to hundreds or thousands of spectators as part of the great show.
The cosplayer takes the audience for a short moment into another world, together with the appropriate music and performance, it breathes life into characters we usually only know from movies, series, games or comics. It doesn't matter whether you faithfully transpose the character or leave room for your own interpretation.
The best cosplayers can look forward to exciting prizes, collected by various sponsors who are well known in the scene. A reward for the work and effort a cosplayer has invested in his costume.
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or advanced, thanks to different categories and a professional jury that is familiar with the scene itself, every participant has the same chances.
