Cosplay Show

Cosplay Walk On
Want to show us how you look in cosplay, or throw a pose and have you picture taken at our con? Then join in! After the cosplay show is over, we’ll throw on some music and let everyone have a cosplay walk on to show off their costumes. Sign-up for this is not necessary.
Photoshoot
After the prizes have been handed out, we’ll be having an outdoor photoshoot (if the weather is good, otherwise, we’ll think of something indoors) where alle the cosplayers who want to can have their pictures taken. This is also a good opportunity to have your picture taken with your favourite cosplayer(s).
Cosplay Royale
Be Genki or get killed! In this originall RPG (Role-playing Game) by Genki, the dice control your destiny as a cosplayer on the field of battle. All teams must consist of a general + 5 cosplayers; of those five, two of the cosplayers will be stationary traps and the remaining three are movable pieces (the general doesn’t have to be in cosplay). To speed up the process a bit, feel free to make teams in advance, though this isn’t required to be able to join. All not in teams will be placed in such by the judge of the event. Fight sequences between the pieces are improvised, so feel free to think up a cool finishing move. Other specific rules will be explained on-location.
