Cosplay Guest Application

CGC welcomes cosplayers of all backgrounds, genres and levels of experience. Although we wish we could accept all applications, space is limited for cosplay special guests. Additionally, although we do collect socials (below), there are no minimum social media reach requirements. We value cosplayers who demonstrate passion, craftsmanship, skill and commitment to the characters they embody. Socials are collected to review the aforementioned.

 

Our event is also very family-friendly and oriented, so we look for cosplay to be suitable for all ages and welcoming to all guests. Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. Accepted cosplay special guests will receive booth space (shared or individual) and a weekend pass to the show. Thank you for your interest and your passion!
