<\/p>\n\n

Crafting<\/strong> is the most important part of cosplay for many, often weeks and months are spent on the smallest details to get the costume as perfect as possible. Unfortunately, attention to detail is often overlooked, and that’s exactly why we have the right competition for you. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

In this competition, only the quality of the costume<\/strong> and the methods of production<\/strong> are judged. Whether sewing, armor building, wig making<\/strong>, etc., here you have the chance to put all your skills to the test! The international jury will crown the best cosplays! This year there are 3 categories: Novice, Journeyman and Master. You can indicate the category you think you belong to when you register, but the jury can change the category selection. <\/p>\n\n

The skills listed below are only examples and provide only a general overview of the category. It is not required to fulfill all examples or to incorporate them into your cosplay. For example, a cosplay can consist solely of sewing and simple crafting. Missing techniques do not necessarily reduce your chances of winning. The category you choose should be based on the skills that most closely match the category\u2019s description.
