CosPlays Got Talent Contestant

Applications are open for CosPlay's Got Talent - 2.0

We are always trying to offer something exciting for our fans, so this show we are again taking the concept of America’s Got Talent and bending it a little to celebrate our CosPlayers, by capitalizing on the Play in CosPlay! With a twist for Spring 2024.

Introducing for the second edition of “Cosplays Got Talent!”, sponsored by Raleigh Llama Productions.

Blending a traditional talent show with the fun of CosPlay, the contest will be held from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM on the Main Stage in the ballroom of the Crown Expo Center. Contestants must be pre-registered. Performance will be limited to no more than three minutes, not including interaction time with the judges. Contestants will be able to register in one of the following categories.

Categories for the “CosPlays Got Talent” Event

•         Musical (includes all Instrumental or Vocal Performances)
•         Dance (includes all Individual or Group Performances)
•          Theatrical (includes all Skits and Creative Acts)

There will be $1600 worth of CASH prizes, as follows:

•         Category 1^st Place: $200
•         Category 2^nd Place: $125
•         Category 3^rd Place: $75
•         Best in Show: $500

The Best in Show Award must be one of the Category Winners, so that means the best act of the evening will walk away with $700!

Some hints to success –

This year we are celebrating our local armed service family and we want that themed into the show, so acts should take the "USO" approach into their performances.

Google USO. Think Pitch Perfect 3. Think Captain America: The First Avenger. Think heroics.

Know your CosPlay. If it is a known character, know their background. Tailor your performance to that character, or group of characters. If it is an original character, be prepared to give some backstory. This isn’t talent in costume, this is CosPlay’s Got Talent!

All contestants must have tickets to Fayetteville Comic Con. Tickets are on sale, with all options found at www.fayettevillecomiccon.com.

If we find more sponsors for this event, then we can potentially up the prizes.
