2026 Costume and Cosplay Contest

Applications for the COAF 2026 Costume & Cosplay Competition are now open!

This year, we're doing things a bit differently: we're switching to a juried system, so getting your application in early doesn't guarantee a spot in the contest. Applications are open from now until the end of day on Wednesday, February 25. Responses to applications will go out no later than Wednesday, March 4.

Check the cosplay contest page for all the details!
