Cosplay

Fans of Cosplay will be pleased to hear that we will have cosplay on our main stage and will be hosting a number of Cosplay events throughout the weekend at PLAY Expo including a masquerade on both days with prizes for the best characters as chosen by our panel of judges. 

Saturday's Masquerade winner will receive a £200 cash prize, guaranteed entry into the 2019 Showmasters Cosplay Masquerade Grand Final held at London Film and Comic Con and 2 free weekend tickets to that event.

Sunday's Masquerade winner will also get guaranteed entry into the 2019 Showmasters Cosplay Masquerade Grand Final held at London Film and Comic Con and 2 free weekend tickets to that event.

The Cosplay Masquerade offers fans the opportunity to be in the spotlight, showcasing their costume, modelling and performance. Our guest judges use many factors when determining who the winners are, but everyone who enters has a chance at winning something!

In addition to judging our Cosplay Masquerade, all of our fantastic judges will have their own stands where you can go and have a chat, buy pictures, get autographs, and talk to them about all things cosplay!

Our cosplay specialist Jess will be organising the Cosplay stage and running our Cosplay masquerade - there will be plenty of press and magazine photographers at the event so we are encouraging everyone to come in character and make the event a fun and colourful one.
