criteria
The judging for the “Best Cosplay We See!” competition focuses on capturing the joy of cosplay, the awe of costumes, and the spirit of the best hobby in the universe. Best Cosplay We See! is not a craftsmanship contest, which would be impossible to judge from one photo. The Best Cosplay We See! approach allows us to celebrate the passion and effort put into the characters, recognizing those who truly bring their personas to life.
