COLLECTORMANIA GLASGOW COSPLAY COMPETITION

[showmasters]

Collectormania Glasgow is proud to announce it will be hosting a cosplay competition as part of its events schedule!

 

WHAT IS COSPLAY?

The word cosplay comes from mixing 'costume' and 'play'. It basically means the hobby of making and wearing costumes of your favourite characters from films, anime, books or video games. Cosplay is all about bringing characters to life, so many cosplayers also try their best to look or act like the character.

 

COSPLAY EVENTS AT COLLECTORMANIA GLASGOW

 

Masquerade

 

Taking place on Saturday at 3.30pm on the main stage, this is the event where you can show off your costume to the public and compete to win some great prizes!

 

Registration will take place on the day between 11am and 1.30pm at the Cosplay Desk. Places are limited so please arrive early to avoid disappointment!

 

All types of costume are welcome, including anime and manga, film and TV, video games, comic book characters, original costumes and others. However every contestant must provide a reference picture of their character for the judges. Please read the rules and weapons guidelines carefully as rules may vary between different Showmasters events.

FACILITIES FOR COSPLAYERS

 

Full changing and cloakroom facilities will be available to all cosplayers attending Collectormania Glasgow. Male and female changing rooms will be available, as well as a cloakroom where it will be possible to up to store two items per person free of charge, up to the size of small suitcase or weekend case.

 

Please note that these facilities are available only to cosplayers and that items stored in the cloakroom may be subject to a security check. It is not advised to leave valuables in the cloakroom or changing rooms as we cannot be held responsible for theft or damage. For non-cosplayers or those with excess luggage, extra cloakrooms will be available next to the entrance for a small additional charge.

 

As we understand that wearing a costume can sometimes be hot and tiring, water and seating will be available for cosplayers upon request.
