STRIKE A POSE

Admire all the beautiful Cosplayers during the Cosplay Catwalk on the Main Stage or participate in the show by yourself. 

Cosplayers will be on stage for a short moment and will do a so called walk on – walk off. In this way the participants rotate on stage to show their cosplay. Do you want to show your cosplay to the audience on the Main Stage, but don’t want to participate in the “big” Cosplay Contest yet? Then the Cosplay Catwalk is perfect for you!
