Fan-Led Photoshoot Meetups: Apply Now!
 

Want to organize a cosplay meetup and photoshoot at Queen City Anime Convention? Here's your chance! We're opening applications for Fan-Led Photoshoot Meetups to be added to our official schedule.

This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow fans who share your passion for specific anime, manga, or gaming series. Whether you're looking to gather cosplayers from a particular fandom or just want to organize a group photoshoot, we're here to help you get the word out.

Please note: These meetups are entirely fan-run events. Queen City Anime Convention (QCAC) is happy to assist by providing a platform to promote your meetup on our schedule, helping fans find one another. However, QCAC is not responsible for running these meetups and does not provide a photographer. You'll be in charge of organizing the specifics of your meetup, including finding a photographer if you wish to have one.

Applications will be chosen based on available times and relevancy to the convention's overall schedule and themes. We encourage creative and unique meetup ideas!
