Cosplay Masquerade

The Cosplay Masquerade will take place on Sunday 10th March at ACME Spring Comic Con - Autumn 2024 (see Event Schedule for further details), and you can sign up by visiting our Cosplay Desk on the day.

We want our Cosplay events to have something for everyone, so this is an opportunity for anyone to join in, have fun, and feel comfortable getting (back) into cosplay, without the pressure of a formal competition. The Cosplay Masquerade is open to everyone aged 12 and over, and is an opportunity for you to come along, strut your stuff on the main stage, and show off your fabulous costumes, regardless of skill or experience level. Your costume doesn’t have to be handmade or conform to any judging standard. The only requirement is that your costume follows our cosplay, prop, weapon & attire rules and that you have fun! There are small prizes up for grabs for this event.

Kids Cosplay Masquerade

Anyone under the age of 12 may participate in our Kids Cosplay Masquerade, provided they have the consent of a parent or guardian, and their parent or guardian is present during the masquerade. The Kids events will take place on both days and sign-ups are at the Cosplay Desk on the day of the event.

Cosplay Catwalk

On days when the C3 Cosplay Championship is taking place, there will be sign-ups on the day of the event at the Cosplay Desk for a Cosplay Catwalk only. This is not a competition but an opportunity to strut your stuff and show off your cosplays on stage.
