Do you want to win a cosplay contest? Let's see 6 tips from RisingSun_Ikhsan, a cosplayer from Dunia Games who has often been a judge and guest star at cosplay events since 2008, so you can win to be a cosplay competition champion too!

1. Choose Unique Characters with Awesome Designs

Usually, the cosplay characters that are often used by cosplayers to win cosplay competitions are very unique and have amazing designs. In order to be the best from the other participants, try to make sure that the character you choose to take part in the cosplay competition is indeed different and really stands out in the eyes of the judges and the audience for the cosplay competition.

Because in cosplay, a cosplayer must be able to appear as similar as possible to the character being cosplayed, so try to choose a character whose original design is truly amazing. For example, if you want to cosplay One Piece characters, you can choose the Blackbeard character with a unique design and character.

2. Create a Concept That Can Entertain Many People

Cosplay competition is one event that can entertain many people who become the audience. Therefore, the concept of your performance in a cosplay competition must be as interesting as possible so that the judges and the audience are happy and even amazed.

There are several types of cosplay contests that allow participants to do everything according to their character's background. For example, if you can dance, you can cosplay as one of the Love Live characters while dancing on stage. If you can sing, you can cosplay as Uta from One Piece Red and act out the concert scene while singing into the mic in the venue. If you can do martial arts and acrobatics, you can cosplay as one of the characters from games or anime or action movies to do amazing stuntman scenes.

3. Prepare Costumes and Cosplay Props Optimally

The essence of a cosplay competition is the costumes and all kinds of cosplay props that you wear in a competition. Therefore you have to optimally prepare costumes, wigs, makeup, and also all kinds of cosplay props.

Even though nowadays there are many places to sell and rent costumes, there are several cosplay competitions such as the WCS (World Cosplay Summit) which require participants to make their own costumes.

4. List of Competition Categories According to Your Excellence

If you want to take part in a cosplay competition, you must register as one of the participants involved in it. Some cosplay competition events have various competition categories, depending on the number of prizes presented in the event.

If you feel superior in the cosplay competition category because you can make your own background music (BGM) and various surprising effects in it, then join the competition category. On the other hand, if you feel your costume is superior for a short performance with random music provided by the event committee, enter a coswalk competition. If you are better at posing in front of the camera as a cosplayer, take part in a cosplay photo contest.

The day of the cosplay competition is a day that is most eagerly awaited by a cosplayer, especially those who really want to appear to achieve achievements.

With makeup, wigs, contact lenses, costumes, and cosplay props, you can bring the fictional characters you cosplay to life in the real world.

The more similar you are to the character you are cosplaying, both in terms of make-up and in terms of character, the more people will admire you. You can even be like an artist who is surrounded by many people asking to take a photo together if your cosplay is really amazing.

6. Do a Cosplay Show as Exciting as Possible

The last tip for winning to win a cosplay contest is to perform a cosplay show on the stage or competition area in the most exciting way possible to impress the people who see it, especially the judges who judge you.
