A Chance to Win the Title of Best Cosplayer in the World at London Anime & Gaming Con

A Chance to win the title of best Cosplayer in the world at London Anime & Gaming Con

Animeleague team up with Cosplay World Masters to take cosplay to the next level this 4-5 July



Animeleague Cosplay shall be hosting the UK qualifiers for the Cosplay World Masters at London Anime & Gaming Con this 4-5 July and the Ireland qualifiers at Ireland Cosplay Con this 6-7 June as part of an exciting new partnership with the Cosplay World Masters competition; an event where countries compete to establish the world's best cosplayer.

With a flight and hotel to Portugal for the qualifiers of each country covered and a chance to win the top prize in the finals at Iberanime 2015 of €750 and massive international recognition there is a lot at stake for those who enter. The top five placed entrants shall also receive a free ticket to the next London Anime & Gaming Con in February 2016.

For those who are interested in signing up, it is advised to read this announcement here.

The UK and Ireland competitions shall work in partnership with Cosplay52, with the top dozen placed finalists of each country featuring in Animeleague Cosplay's top 52 showcase of the best the UK and Ireland have to offer for 2016. You can view this year's showcase of 52 of the UK and Ireland's finest cosplayers on fb @animeleaguecosplay which is ongoing now and being updated on a daily basis. The top dozen finalists shall also be offered the chance to help build and develop their cosplay portfolio and profile in the future with Animeleague Cosplay.

This is just a small part of London Anime & Gaming Con's exciting cosplay lineup which has world-famous American cosplayer Ani-Mia guesting in the UK for the first time, top European cosplayers including Tabitha Lyons present, over a £300 prize-fund for the standard Cosplay Masquerade on the Sunday (to which anyone can enter for including on the day), and a massive lineup of cosplay events, talks and workshops. This is part of the event's drive to become the home of UK cosplay this summer. Of course there will still be all the usual lineup of non-cosplay themed events, contests and parties so no one will be left out. This includes voice actor guest Mike Pollock; the voice of Dr Eggman, and much more.

Tickets for the event are still available at just £20 for the entire weekend at www.londonanimecon.com if you book now.
