Sangawa’s Casual Costume Contest Returns! Did you handcraft a wearable work of art? Gather a cosplay coordinate from your closet? Any costume with user creativity is encouraged to enter this low stakes event!
This costume contest is casual, meaning it is open to any costume that was not purchased as a full set or entirely commissioned. Thrifted, closet, or handcrafted costumes are all welcome, as long as the entrant has made creative choices in putting it together. It’s a great way to start if you aren’t ready for a ranked craftsmanship competition, but what to know what the judging experience is like!
Our judging panel made of experienced cosplayers will interview you by asking about how you made your costume. Tell us how you chose items from your closet, how you modified items found at a thrift store, or how you created pieces from scratch. Awards will be given for Best Crafted to a cosplay with mostly handcrafted parts, and Most Creative to the best use of mostly found items.
The location of the judging room, and exact time for judging and the variety show are TBD, but will be on Saturday.
