Cosplay Hallway Competition

Are you a novice at cosplay and not sure if you’re ready for the main stage yet? Then the Abunai! Hallway Competition is the place to find out!  

The aim of this competition is to help beginning cosplayers get ready for their first cosplay competition. The judges of this competition are experienced cosplayers who will evaluate your costume. They will provide advice on how to improve your skills and determine if you’re ready to compete.  

The Abunai! Hallway Competition will take place on all three days of the convention in room 47. Please check the schedule for opening times.  

To enter the Abunai! Hallway Competition, you can simply enter the room and get judged. There is no need to sign up beforehand.  

This friendly competition aims to help cosplay beginners who have not yet entered or won a competition before. You can only win a prize if you meet either of these criteria. Of course, even the most experienced cosplayers are welcome to drop by to receive advice!
