Guesting at World Cosplay Summit 2022 as Champions
Elffi and I were invited as guests for the World Cosplay Summit 2022 in Nagoya.
As previous champions from the contest in 2021 we were now judges for the 2022 championship. Beside the contest, the WCS also arranges multiple amazing events on the days leading up to the grand finale.
First of all, it felt so unreal to see our cosplay photos of Jessie and Biggs from Final Fantasy 7 all over the subway, the shopping mall and all other places on the official World Cosplay Summit posters.
Because not every selected team could come to Japan this year we had two divisions.
1.) The stage division for all teams who could come to Japan and stand on the big stage. 2.) The video division for all teams to send in their prerecorded cosplay videos.
On the next day we were heading to the big stage show, set up at a theater in Nagoya.
During the stage championship, the whole city center is full of cosplayers and beautifully illuminated. It was so much fun to take photos in this beautiful setting.
We had a wonderful experience and could meet so many wonderful people.
I will forever cherish the memory of this event.
And in good old World Cosplay Summit fashion, the last day is an onsen tour with everyone going a a trip to just celebrate and enjoy themselves.
Big thanks to the WCS organizers for inviting us to come to Japan :)!
