Announcement: Valentine’s Day Contest and Rules!

EpicCosplay’s Valentines Day Contest

Valentines Day is coming up! Some individuals are very lucky and have found someone to share this day of love with. Others haven’t found that special someone yet. Whether you’re single and ready to mingle or involved with someone else, you all have the right to be happy! To spread the love, EpicCosplay is hosting a Valentine’s Day cosplay contest! There will be two separate categories for entry; the couples category (either pairings from an anime or cosplayer couples) and the themed category. This contest is open to all cosplayers whether you are wearing an EpicCosplay wig or not! Keep on reading to see the details and rules for each specific contest and the prizes you can win!

Couples Contest

Since Valentine’s Day is all about the couples, we decided to host a couples cosplay contest! Do you have a significant other you cosplay with? Do you and a friend like cosplaying as couples from an anime? This contest is open for couple cosplays, whether you’re a couple in real life or cosplaying as one!

Couples Contest Rules

  1. Pictures must involve two cosplayers (hence, the couples contest).
  2. Cosplayers do not necessarily have to be cosplaying from the same series. We understand that some couples do choose to cosplay from different series.

    Why do you love cosplay?
  5. Judging will be completed by EpicCosplay staff. EpicCosplay staff will pick their favorite images out of the entries submitted.
