COSPLAY SHOWCASE INFO:

Are you a cosplayer? Our showcase is open to all! Register for the showcase here! 

• Every cosplayer’s walk-off segment will be 30 seconds maximum, including the time taken to walk to the center, pose(s) for photos, and to walk off. -The MC will commentate over your walk with your cosplayer name, socials, character/series, and if applicable, what parts of your cosplay you made.
• Group cosplays are limited to maximum 5 people per group.
• Background music will be determined by our DJ Ciel and matched to you through your answer of whether your cosplay is “cute” or “cool” in the entry form.
• Cosplayers are responsible for arriving in cosplay as a dressing room is not available. However, the Rec Room does have a free coat check!
• Cosplays can be from any source material so long as the costume is appropriate for public audiences (no nudity, cannot be offensive or hateful).
• Do not use anything that can be left behind such as effects or props (glitter, confetti, etc)
• Functioning weapons of any kind are not permitted.
• AniMirai reserves the right of final say and disqualifications according to the rules.

PRIZE CATEGORIES

Judge’s Choice: Our special cosplay guest judge @lanadelcosplay will be evaluating the quality of cosplays presented to reward the hard work and skill put into its craft! Bought cosplays are not necessarily excluded from this category if other elements have exceptional craft (e.g. wig or makeup styling). The winner here will take home an Arabian Princess Hatsune Miku Figure plus a $20 gift card from Fabricland.

Audience’s Choice: THE LOUDEST CHEER! Whichever cosplay gets the loudest cheers from the crowd during the walk-off is clearly the audience’s favorite! The winner of this category will win a Villainess Hatsune Miku Plushie!

With both prizes, you will also get free entry to our next event!
