Come Judge a Cosplay Competition With Me! VLOG *My Best Cosplay Comp Tips!* GRWM Lets Go!

I was invited to judge a local cosplay completion at Mini Con! Mini con is a northern Utah small Comic convention held at Sandy Game Haven in the Spring Time. I was so excited to go get dressed up and see everyones work! Not all the contestants wished to be filled so the entries show in this video are not the entirety of the competition if you see yourself in the the video and want to be tagged, let me know!!
Entering a cosplay competition is one of the most fun things a cosplayer can do! It is a way to make new friends, get a new perspective on your craft and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone! Willingly signing up for a craftsmanship contest can be scary! We put so much of ourselves into our work and being judged by people who didn't watch you create your look from start to finish is nerve wracking! It can also be a really rewarding experience where well seasoned cosplayers, beginners and everyone in the middle can get together, talk shop, and make friends!
If you participated in this contest and want any feedback on your cosplay, reach out to me on instagram! I would love to connect and talk shop!

Really cool video!! It's great to see things from the judge's perspective for a change. I actually cosplayed Macaque for a con 2 years ago, and I entered in my first competition with it. Despite its flaws, I won judge's choice!! And, most importantly, I learned SO MUCH from the feedback I got!! I always get so excited to hear any and all competition advice, so this was a really informative video. Thank you for documenting this!

do you have any videos on making the book for the Judges to look at

[@AlexandriaLayne]

I don't have a video but my favorite resource for build books is a creator on instagram called "rennacosplay" she has a saved story on her page called "judging Docs" and it has some REALLY GOOD information!
