Cosplay contests: unique and qualitative

Under the sublabel ‘Duh-Cosplay’ Duh-Events has been organising beautiful cosplay shows since 2016. Whether it’s a ‘walk on/walk off’ contest or an ‘act performance’ contest, Duh-Events has a lot of experience. For both types of contests, we invite judges who have participated in one or more international cosplay contests. They pay attention to craftsmanship, references to the character and what the participants do during their moment on stage.

 

During a ‘walk on/walk off’ contest the judging is based mostly on craftsmanship. Participants walk onto the stage at their own tempo to show their creation to the audience and then walk off the podium. during an ‘act performance’ contest, there is a short performance that is self-made, complete with audiovisual support. The judges are very strict on how much time a cosplayer spends on stage during these performances. Duh-Cosplay’s ‘Act performance’ contests are usually connected to international contests. Winners currently get the opportunity to participate in the upcoming ‘Cosplay World Masters’ in Portugal.

 

As a cherry on top, we add a little extra to our contests with photos and videos, a live stream and special effects like a fire show. We also work together with the best cosplay photographers and – videographers for our media collection.
