VIECC® Cosplay Championship Rules

Here you can find the rules for the VIECC® Cosplay Championships 2023!

Join us to celebrate the VIECC® Cosplay Championships with a prize pool of €3,000!

The VIECC® Cosplay Championships are aimed at national as well as international cosplayers and will be held on Saturday, November 18, 2023 as part of the Vienna Comic Con 2023!

At stake in these epic contests is a total of 3,000 in prize money divided among the top finishers. €1.500,- will be given to the 1st place, €750,- to the runner-up and €400,- for reaching the 3rd place!

In addition, there will be Judges Choice placements where winners can look forward to packages packed with great non-cash prizes.

The judges focus on the costume itself. There will be no categorizations. Emphasis in the evaluation is placed on the accurate reproduction of the original, the variety of techniques used, as well as their implementation.

Participation is possible from the age of 18, as long as the cosplay has not been awarded before. Contestants may enter other VIECC® contests with the same costume.
