Cosplay is a perennial anime convention favorite. See your fellow con goers dressed up as your favorite anime and game characters!

If you have yet to see one live, make sure you make it to the AnimeNext 2008 Masquerade! This event has been scheduled for Saturday night at 7pm, with the awards ceremony occurring shortly afterward.

If you want to have your costume judged but don't want to go on stage, then our Hall Cosplay Contest is for you!

If you just want to cosplay around the convention areas and have no intention of participating in either contest, you do not need to register. Cosplay is being used here to refer to the on-stage contest or hall contest, not cosplaying in general.
