COSPLAY-EH!™ brings together top talent from coast to coast in a high-energy championship
We are committed to providing a safe and respectful space for all contestants and we aim to remove barriers to participation whenever possible. Cosplay-Eh!™ is proudly Canadian, proudly competitive and proudly community-driven.
Cosplay is for everyone
- Cosplay-Eh!™ showcases Canada's top cosplayers and highlights cosplay as a vital art form. This blend of “costume play” involves creating costumes and performing as specific characters. The term “cosplay” was first used in Japan by Nobuyuki Takahashi in June 1983. Popular inspirations include anime, cartoons, comic books, manga, genre films, television, Japanese culture, and video games.
- Diversity is at the heart of cosplay; everyone is welcome to register in the selections. Cosplay-Eh!™ wants to give equal opportunity to all cosplayers and costumers to showcase their talent.
Rules
Participation in the Cosplay-Eh!™ Selections is open to Canadian citizens or permanent residents of the age of majority in their province or territory. Contestants may enter solo or in pairs. All participants are expected to behave respectfully and follow the event's safety and accessibility guidelines. Rules are subject to change by event organizers.
