About the application
Do you have what it takes to bring your favorite character to life? Whether you’ve spent hours hand-stitching every detail or crafted your armor with nothing but foam and ambition, we want you to hit the stage at this year’s ExtravaCon Cosplay Contest!
All contestants must check in for the contest before prejudging to confirm participation and get their specific timeslot. Before the contest, each contestant will get 5 minutes with our panel of 3 expert judges for a pre-judging session. This is your moment to shine—show off your craftsmanship, share your creative process, and tell us what makes your cosplay epic. Then, before winners are announced, all participants will strut their stuff on stage while the MC gives the crowd a fun intro!
At 4:30pm, we will have our cosplay runway before the winners are announced.
As each model walks on stage, the following will be announced:
• The model’s name
• The character they are portraying
• The series, franchise, or source the character is from
Each model will pose 2–3 times for photo opportunities.
While posing, a short personal message will be read aloud.
This process will repeat for each participant.
