All contestants are encouraged to enter the contest both before and during the show. On-site entries will be available at Booth 50 on the exhibit floor. In addition to the Costume Contest, Long Beach will debut its Cosplay Corner, where fans will have the opportunity to meet and greet some of their favorite cosplayers, take pictures, and mingle with their favorite characters.
“We think this is really something great for the fans to enjoy. They will have a destination to greet some of their favorite cosplayers. In addition, we are excited that fans will have the opportunity to strut their stuff at the Costume Contest again this year. With cash and special giveaways for contestants, this promises to be our biggest one yet,” said Phil Lawrence, Co-Founder and Sales Director.
