Are you a cosplay photographer and want to show off your skills and creations at Magicon? All you need to do in order to participate is submit one cosplay photo (remember to ask cosplayers permission!). One photographer can submit up to 5 pictures each! 💜
___
The competition will be held both Saturday and Sunday.
Cosplayers are encouraged to give your local photographer a friendly poke to sign up.
All submitted photos will be displayed at Magicon for everyone to see!
In addition to a main prize we will also give an audience choice award in which the winner will be chosen by Magicons visitors during the weekend. 📸
If you have any questions then we do have a communication channel on our discord server.
