Get your toys out!
Bad Dragons, love balls, massagers, etc.
This contest is all about you and your favorite adults-only companions—and how you skillfully showcase them.
Minimal Edit
Only basic adjustments (brightness, contrast, slight cropping). No photo montages, no extreme color grading.
Digital Photoart
For heavily edited images. Pretty much anything goes. Use as many editing tools as you want and can.
General rules:
- At least one cosplayer should be present in the photo
- There are no limits on freedom of movement
- Please send the finished image as a JPG (the higher the resolution, the better)
- Please also send the unedited photo with your submission so that the degree of editing can be understood.
- Please do not include watermarks on the images, as the jury will evaluate them anonymously.
- By submitting the photo, the participant agrees that HAYUKO may use and publish the image at events and on social media.
- All elements used must be either your own property, licensed or royalty-free.
- Entries are permitted from photographers and cosplayers. The permission of the submission must be clarified with the other party beforehand. If it is subsequently discovered that permission has not been granted, this will result in disqualification and a possible future ban from further HAYUKO cosplay photo competitions.
- There is a limit of one entry per person. Multiple entries of the same model in pictures by different photographers are possible without limit. However, the setting should be different from the other photographers.
- No fully AI-generated images are permitted
- Entries that have already placed in a competition are not permitted.
- The submitted photo should not be more than one year old as of the submission date.
How do I submit my pictures?
Please upload the original photo and the edited photo to the cloud (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, Onedrive,…) and share the photos with us via a permanent sharing link.
You can also upload a text document there where you can tell us all about your photo—location, camera settings/setup, editing details, etc. This really helps us place the photo in the right category.
