A “language”

Together with our partner conventions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we are looking for the best cosplayers at our VIECC® DACH Cosplay Cup.

At VIECC® 2024, you can be the first team to qualify for the final.

The VIECC® DACH Cosplay Cup is a “performance” cosplay contest. In each of the partner countries, teams from the respective countries can take part in the qualification as a cosplay duo. The qualified teams will be invited to the Vienna Comic Con 2025 to take part in the final. At this epic final 2025, a total prize money of €3,500 is at stake, divided among the top finishers. €2,000 will be awarded to the 1st place, €1,000 to the runner-up and €500 to the 3rd place! Participation is possible from the age of 18, as long as the cosplay or performance has not previously won an award.

Contestants may enter other VIECC® contests with the same costume.

We are looking for the first team for the DACH Final 2025!
